He was standin' on the corner with a will-work-for-food sign
He said brother can you spare me a thin dime
I promise I'll 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, he's been hearin')

Said I got the message from the Man upstairs
He's been hearing your prayers


Chorus:
Nah nah nah nah nah
It doesn't matter where the answer's from

Long as you're listening when it comes (when it comes, when it comes your way)
'Cause in an instant years of doubt will roll away (years of doubt they'll 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 tellin' you it makes no sense
I turned around and I don't 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 friend's advice or a stranger's voice

When you're meant to hear it you'll 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
