[Verse 1]
She walked into this world I made on a
Little park bench under the shade
Of a sweet gum tree whose leaves were red and brown
I looked up and I saw her face
That was full of fortitude and grace
She said, "If you don't mind, can I please sit down?"
See I've been working since the morning
When the sun starts settling in
That's when I walk across the town to where my second job begins
I got two kids I must feed, I've got no time to sit with them and read
The counselors keep on telling me my boy's got special needs
[Pre-Chorus]
But don't we all got issues?
It's just the stuff we live through
Everybody's got their coffee stains
I ain't complaining, I'm just saying
[Chorus]
That I ain't been to Harvard
And I ain't got no big degrees
Everything I know, I learned it on these bitter streets
And I, can't afford the good life
But only real love comes for free
And some days my head's up in the clouds
But I'm allowed to dream
She walked into this world I made on a
Little park bench under the shade
Of a sweet gum tree whose leaves were red and brown
I looked up and I saw her face
That was full of fortitude and grace
She said, "If you don't mind, can I please sit down?"
See I've been working since the morning
When the sun starts settling in
That's when I walk across the town to where my second job begins
I got two kids I must feed, I've got no time to sit with them and read
The counselors keep on telling me my boy's got special needs
[Pre-Chorus]
But don't we all got issues?
It's just the stuff we live through
Everybody's got their coffee stains
I ain't complaining, I'm just saying
[Chorus]
That I ain't been to Harvard
And I ain't got no big degrees
Everything I know, I learned it on these bitter streets
And I, can't afford the good life
But only real love comes for free
And some days my head's up in the clouds
But I'm allowed to dream
