Finally birthed this one! Lol! I think we may be done...

Cardboard Sign
©2013 Townley/Valentine
I see him here at 4th and Vine
Every morning about this time
Holding a message that’s always the same
"Homeless, can you spare some change"
What if I had to do that too
Reveal to the world my deepest truth
And all the things I keep inside
Were spilled out on
Chorus
A cardboard sign where you could read
Everything about me
A cardboard sign that lets you know
What’s in me that hurts the most
What if the secrets that I hide
Were written on a cardboard sign....
Yeah … yeah
I thought about him all day long
How do you get that far gone?
But he had honesty on his face
The kind I let all my fears erase
We’re all the same when you strip us down
Broken and flawed and full of doubts
It’s time that I let go of mine
And put ‘em on
Chorus
Bridge
I stood next to him at 4th and vine today
And held up a sign that said: It’s time for change
Chorus 2
A cardboard sign that helps you see
Something’s happened in me
A cardboard sign that lets you know
what really means the most
sharing all the hurt you have inside
Put it on a cardboard sign
Yeah... yeah
We all could use a cardboard sign
We all need a cardboard sign
A cardboard sign
