Slice of Life |
| A poor man trying to survive |
| He always made it through |
| Trying to live an honest life |
| Working on minimum wage |
| A little too grown up for his age |
| Sixteen and working hard |
| Newsboy on the Boulevard |
| He’d see the rich and famous |
| Never envied anyone |
| Behind their false joys |
| He saw that they had none |
| He was looking out of place |
| Held a smile on his face |
| Some looked down, asked him why |
| He’d look up and reply |
| I keep moving forward |
| When they try to rob me blind |
| Why waste a second when we’re |
| All running out of time |
| I know, yes I know |
| I’m not a great man |
| But what you call «great» |
| Isn’t part of my plan |
| I’ll accept, and I’ll deal with |
| The work and the strife |
| 'Cause I guess that’s |
| Just my slice of life |
| Still had a lot to fix |
| They shut his water off |
| He said «I don’t mind this» |
| It could be so much worse |
| Than living the obverse |
| He knew he had a home |
| No matter how much it hurts |
| He’d see the rich and famous |
| They’d all just pass him by |
| That could have been his dream |
| But he knew it’s a lie |
| He found his joy in sharing |
| The happiness he knew |
| They’d all ask him about it |
| He’d tell them what he’d do |
| I keep moving forward |
| When they try to rob me blind |
| Why waste a second when we’re |
| All running out of time |
| I know, yes I know |
| I’m not a great man |
| But what you call «great» |
| Isn’t part of my plan |
| I’ll accept, and I’ll deal with |
| The work and the strife |
| 'Cause I guess that’s |
| Just my slice of life |
| Not a regret to admit |
| It’s everything he wanted |
| He tried follow through |
| And his dreams followed too |
| He took a look back one day |
| At the newsboy on Broadway |
| He was the same man inside |
| He had just come a long way |
| He told me all this so I |
| Could tell them all someday why |
| It’s not the days that you live |
| It’s not the day that you die |
| It’s the difference that you make |
| In your slice of life |
| I keep moving forward |
| When they try to rob me blind |
| Why waste a second when we’re |
| All running out of time |
| I know, yes I know |
| I’m not a great man |
| But what you call «great» |
| Isn’t part of my plan |
| I’ll accept, and I’ll deal with |
| The work and the strife |
| 'Cause I guess that’s |
| Just my slice of life |
