Walking down the street just the other day There was an old man who came up to me to say He said you look like a fine young man And I know you don't know who I am He said, "I used to be the president of this big corporation, but I Haven't been quite the same since me and my wifes seperation I hate to ask but, have you got a dollar to spare?" And I said, "Sorry sir, I haven't got much money But I've got something, something I can share." I've got two pennies in my pocket And I know that's not alot for a young man I've got two pennies in my pocket But what's in my heart is worth more than what's in my hand
He just looked at me with this strange sort of stare Looked at the ground and ran his fingers through his uncombed hair He said "I don't understand what you mean" And I said "Silver and Gold, Have I none But what I have I will give to you If you'll just listen to my two cents, i'll introduce you to the king 'Cause you've got a mansion waiting up above It can be yours if you accept my father's love" All I have is peace, and it's all I need All I have is truth, and I give it to you, I give it to you
