Please Give Generously

Well this is not a charity, this is a Tuesday And he's not trynna get in anybody else's way He just needs a bit of help to find his And you can change the course of his night for a couple of quid You might not change the course that his life is on But you got no idea what kind of cards he's drawn And is it really gonna break the bank And aren't the banks already broken If there are so many people in this city that are homeless So give a little, give a lot, give some of what you got Don't have to give it all but just don't give up Don't give money, give time and energy Give what you can but please give generously Well I'm singing to myself as much as anybody else You won't believe the amount of times that I have just walked past And averted my eyes through fear or embarrassment My pockets are jingling as I walk off down the high street The world's busy anyway, staring at their little lives They won't even notice if we turn up in the dead of night And ransacked the ballroom, peeked behind the curtains Cause don't you sometimes wonder how the whole thing's working Well, don't shoot the messenger, who tells you that its not It's as broke as the empty pockets of that bloke I walk pass everyday on my way to work And I always catch his eye and always pretend I don't Because deep down inside I like to think I might be humble Tell a lot about society by how they treat, their most vulnerable Give what you can but please give generously Don't have to give it all but just don't give up Don't give money, give time and energy Give what you can but please give generously Give what you can but please give generously
