lyrics

Once I was a homeless man, I slept under trees
I had no bread or butter so I got on my knees
When the king rolled through on his carriage,
I made sure to be seen
He paid no mind to me

Lost in the swollen world again
Mountain top or metro train, the view's the same from everywhere I stand
So I took a stab at pulling my own weeds
O I saw flowers in your hand

And it reminded me I wished to be forgotten
It reminded me that

Once I was a working man, the clock held my reins
And I had no silver dollars so I made an exchange
My life today for leisure tomorrow
But I'm toiling in vain
Time pays no mind to you or me

Each day is a road if you're runnin'
A song for the strangers with empty pockets
Many for the hands that keep on takin'
And will never thank you for it
