His little girl is wearin' hand me downs
He's only workin' half shifts now
And every morning at his corner light
Stands a man with a sign
She's got a good job with her law degree
She's always worked hard, nothin' ever came for free
And every morning at her corner light
Stands a man with a sign
Chorus
How many hearts are shoved on down the line
Don't have the money, brother, or I just don't have the time
Mother Teresa, well she walked in different shoes
But choices are choices; we all pick and choose
And we all have to say goodbyeâ¦
Knowin' how we live, is how we die
I'm not a preacher, but somehow I believe
There's so much more than what it is we think we see
Love is the lesson; life's only gold to mine
And somewhere in the lightâ¦stands a man with a sign
Chorus
How many hearts are shoved on down the line
Don't have the money, brother, or I just don't have the time
Mother Teresa, well she walked in different shoes
But choices are choices; we all pick and choose
And we all have to say goodbyeâ¦
Knowin' how we live, is how we die
Instrumental
Chorus
How many hearts are shoved on down the line
Don't have the money, brother, or I just don't have the time
Mother Teresa, well she walked in different shoes
But choices are choices; we all pick and choose
And we all have to say goodbyeâ¦
Knowin' how we live, is how we dieâ¦
