spare change - the cross movement lyrics
[intro]
ey, what up, y’all? it’s ya boy, the tonic
and we ’bout to get up outta here
but before we do, one last question:
can anybody spare some change?
[chorus]
picture me, no fortune or fame
and i’m standin’ in the rain in the middle of the pain
in the middle of the lane with a cup
with the sun beatin’ plain and i’m playin’ for spare change
i’m playin’ for spare change, can anybody spare some change?
picture me, pack full on a train
and i’m turnin’ up the gain, so you hear me when you came
one life, one name, one christ, one claim
shame, people don’t like people beggin’ for spare change
i’m beggin’ for spare change, can anybody spare some change?
[verse 1]
does anybody here got any spare change left?
i ain’t beggin’ for no, no washington or a jeff
maybe a john wesley or a john wycliffe
modern martin luther for a new protestant ref(ormation)
dr. king with a modern day dream, and a modern day theme
we done got away teeeeam, it seeeeems
we’re losin’ definitions and it’s ruinin’ our vision
and how we view our decisions
and the news, it’s k!llin’ me with the drama
fillin’ me with osama and presidential dishonor
we become fools! who willingly will follow
men possibility, hillary or obama, comma
we lost truth in this period
and proof is so mysterious
losin’ absolutes is so serious
how we think we’re gonna live when everything’s relative
is anybody curious?
without a standard of truth society’s deranged
that’s why i’m up in your ear beggin’ for change!
[chorus]
picture me, no fortune or fame
and i’m standin’ in the rain in the middle of the pain
in the middle of the lane with a cup
with the sun beatin’ plain and i’m playin’ for spare change
i’m playin’ for spare change, can anybody spare some change?
picture me, pack full on a train
and i’m turnin’ up the gain, so you hear me when you came
one life, one name, one christ, one claim
shame, people don’t like people beggin’ for spare change
i’m beggin’ for spare change, can anybody spare some change?
[verse 2]
can anybody here spare some change?
anybody not ashamed to go against the grain?
opposite to the stream that’s main
givin’ up your own ambition just to change the game?
you say you love people
but you already know it
stand against sin and suddenly you’re h-m-phobic
you ain’t even said nothin’ but already did it
yep, yes sir, now you’re a biggot
deranged and erratic, modern hate lover
extreme religious fanatic, intolerant of others
back that up, that’s a lie from the pit of h-ll!
we serve christ, who doeth all things well!
jesus, please keep my kids
it’s hard to think i gotta leave ’em in a place like this
help us run and not faint
no matter how bad you let it get
please preserve the saints
i’ll keep fightin’ with my preachin’
fightin’ through my art
beggin’ those that’ll listen
for some spare change of heart
[chorus]
picture me, no fortune or fame
and i’m standin’ in the rain in the middle of the pain
in the middle of the lane with a cup
with the sun beatin’ plain and i’m playin’ for spare change
i’m playin’ for spare change, can anybody spare some change?
picture me, pack full on a train
and i’m turnin’ up the gain, so you hear me when you came
one life, one name, one christ, one claim
shame, people don’t like people beggin’ for spare change
i’m beggin’ for spare change, can anybody spare some change?
[verse 3]
does anybody here got any spare change of view?
we don’t need a lot, just a little spare change will do
does anybody have left any wrong or right?
who’s qualified to decide and dispute or fight?
or does everybody decide what’s right in their brain?
now let me tell you why that just can’t be sustained
hitler had a feelin’ about how to rule and govern
who are you to say he shouldn’t of put millions in the oven?
idi amin had his regime in uganda
what do you mean it’s wrong what happened in rwanda?
now you see why it’s so monumental when you choose
’cause you’re gonna have to live with the consequences of your views
god’s word shows ethics done properly
without it all men’s methods are just mockery
law and truth done sloppily
morality minus god’s view equals plain hypocrisy
first was the word, and the word was with god
and the word was god. god is still in charge!
if two cars stood parked at a standstill
then you feel like your car is rollin’ backwards and downhill
but you can’t tell which car slipped out of park
so your eyes, they look for a building or landmark
so you can compare the stationary to mobile
but what happens if the whole building’s startin’ to roll now?
[chorus]
picture me, no fortune or fame
and i’m standin’ in the rain in the middle of the pain
in the middle of the lane with a cup
with the sun beatin’ plain and i’m playin’ for spare change
i’m playin’ for spare change, can anybody spare some change?
picture me, pack full on a train
and i’m turnin’ up the gain, so you hear me when you came
one life, one name, one christ, one claim
shame, people don’t like people beggin’ for spare change
i’m beggin’ for spare change, can anybody spare some change?
[outro]
hey man, i’m just desperate. i wish we could spare the kind of change
that would return us back to the word of god
in this day and time, we need it
much love to dr. zacharias, thanks for your wisdom
