He was standinâ on the corner with a will-work-for-food sign He said brother can you spare me a thin dime I promise Iâll make it worth all of your time (your time) I thought man he was drunk outta his mind My coin hit his cup and as I turned to go (and as I turned) He told me things about my life that no one could know (he could not know, heâs been hearinâ) Said I got the message from the Man upstairs Heâs been hearing your prayers
Chorus: Nah nah nah nah nah It doesnât matter where the answerâs from Long as youâre listening when it comes (when it comes, when it comes your way) âCause in an instant years of doubt will roll away (years of doubt theyâll roll away) By one ragged angel one dime (one dime) one day
Come On nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah (x2)
Even now tellinâ you it makes no sense I turned around and I donât know where he went But from that day I have never had one doubt (I have never had a doubt) The toughest times are all gonna work out
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: It might be a song on the radio A line from your favorite TV show A friendâs advice or a strangerâs voice When youâre meant to hear it youâll have no choice (no choice, no choice)
Come on
Repeat Chorus
Come on Nah nah nah nah nah In a minute, in an instant He could change your life Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Sing the song, sing a song
