[00:00.838] She walked into this world I made on a
[00:03.732] Little park bench under the shade
[00:05.864] Of a sweet gum tree whose leaves were red and brown
[00:10.839] I looked up and I saw her face
[00:12.876] That was full of fortitude and grace
[00:15.251] She said, "If you don't mind, can I please sit down?"
[00:19.761] See I've been working since the morning
[00:22.285] When the sun starts settling in
[00:24.969] That's when I walk across the town to where my second job begins
[00:29.231] I got two kids I must feed, I've got no time to sit with them and read
[00:34.963] The counselors keep on telling me my boy's got special needs
[00:39.683] But don't we all got issues?
[00:42.168] It's just the stuff we live through
[00:44.258] Everybody's got their coffee stains
[00:47.072] I ain't complaining, I'm just saying
[00:50.550] That I ain't been to Harvard
[00:52.949] And I ain't got no big degrees
[00:55.125] Everything I know, I learned it on these bitter streets
[00:59.544] And I, can't afford the good life
[01:02.669] But only real love comes for free
[01:04.988] And some days my head's up in the clouds
[01:07.401] But I'm allowed to dream
[01:18.868] As she got up and walked away
[01:21.126] I said, "Goodbye," I gave a wave
[01:23.817] And watched that lady fade into the crowd
[01:28.760] And I thought maybe we're the same, hey
[01:31.534] We both cry and we feel shame
[01:33.499] And we both know there still some things
[01:35.787] We've yet to figure out
[01:38.324] See I've been writing since the morning
[01:40.640] When the sun starts settling in
[01:43.046] I cross the town to check the sound
[01:45.221] Where my second job begins
[01:48.870] I've got two kids to feed, some doubts and insecurities
[01:53.056] I pray that I provide a life for everything they need
[01:57.923] But don't we all got issues?
[01:59.998] It's just the stuff we live through
[02:02.247] Everybody's got their coffee stains
[02:05.401] I ain't complaining, I'm just singing
[02:08.219] That I ain't been to Harvard
[02:11.001] And I ain't got no big degrees
[02:13.446] Everything I know, I learned it on these crazy streets
[02:17.877] And I, can't afford the good life
[02:20.490] But only real love comes for free
[02:23.222] And some days my head's up in the clouds
[02:25.467] But I'm allowed to dream
[02:31.622] Oh, woah-oh-oh
[02:36.452] As I'm heading home, I think of how
[02:39.960] Her shift is probably ending now
[02:42.441] And I'll be on a plane this time tomorrow
[02:47.160] Some folks are on an uphill climb
[02:49.837] Some coast along on borrowed time
[02:51.958] Still others need a little time to borrow
[02:56.775] But don't we all got issues?
[02:58.857] It's just the stuff we live through
[03:01.269] Everybody's got their coffee stains
[03:04.202] I can't forget, the words she said remain
[03:06.928] That I ain't been to Harvard
[03:09.782] And I ain't got no big degrees
[03:12.243] Everything I know, I learned it on these bitter streets
[03:16.356] And I, can't afford the good life
[03:19.338] But only real love comes for free
[03:21.827] And some days my head's up in the clouds
[03:24.980] But I'm allowed to dream
[03:31.195] Oh, woah-oh-oh
[03:34.938] But I'm allowed to dream
[03:40.553] I ain't been to Harvard
[03:44.733] But I'm allowed to dream
