Walked down to the bridge
And I was just about to cross
When an old woman
Handed me the word of God.
I stuck it in my pocket just in case
I change my mind.

Well, I’m not stupid.
I care.
I just look twice around each corner
Before I take another step.
Because you know as well as I do
There may be no one looking out for you.

Chorus
Until you stand up,
Be confident and strong,
Be the woman that you are
Or the man you always hoped you could be.
Don’t be afraid cuz they laugh at me.

Looking out at the world
From a Busker’s point of view,
I challenge every passerby
To look me in the eye, but they don’t.
They just toss a coin.
Don’t even stick around to see who won.

Chorus

Well I say I’m entertaining.
You say I’m begging, well,
I may be begging
For the mercy I show everyday.
But you’re stupid, you don’t care,
You walk away. You walk away.

Chorus

Solo

And the kids,
I love the kids.
I hate the kids.
But those kids, when they stop and stare.
They’re in awe and they’re so pure and so aware.
They’re not stupid.
They care.

Chorus
