    The part about a homeless man and another man gives him some money and he says he hasn't always been this way is from the song "Moments" by Emerson Drive. The part about cross that yellow line that's the day I lost my mind is from the song, "Don't Laugh At Me" by Mark Wills. I think you are talking about two different songs.

    Moments-- Emerson Drive

  • 1 decade ago

    moments-emerson drive

    I was coming to the end of a long long walk

    When a man crawled out of a cardboard box

    Under the E. Street Bridge

    Followed me on to it

    I went out halfway across

    With that homeless shadow tagging along

    So I dug for some change

    Wouldn't need it anyway

    He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed

    He said, You know, I haven't always been this way

    I've had my moments, days in the sun

    Moments I was second to none

    Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do

    Like that plane ride coming home from the war

    That summer my son was born

    And memories like a coat so warm

    A cold wind can't get through

    Lookin' at me now you might not know it

    But I've had my moments

    I stood there tryin' to find my nerve

    Wondering if a single soul on Earth

    Would care at all

    Miss me when I'm gone

    That old man just kept hanging around

    Lookin' at me, lookin' down

    I think he recognized

    That look in my eyes

    Standing with him there I felt ashamed

    I said, You know, I haven't always felt this way

    I've had my moments, days in the sun

    Moments I was second to none

    Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do

    Like the day I walked away from the wine

    For a woman who became my wife

    And a love that, when it was right,

    Could always see me through

    Lookin' at me now you might not know it

    But I've had my moments

    I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight

    That old man tells his story one more time

    He says

    I've had my moments, days in the sun

    Moments I was second to none

    Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do

    Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge

    When a young man almost ended it

    I was right there, wasn't scared a bit

    And I helped to pull him through

    Lookin' at me now you might not know it

    Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it

    But I've had my moments

    it sounds like u may be talking about 2 different songs. i think one of them is emerson drive moments and mark willis don't laugh at me.

    Mark Willis Don't laugh at me

    I'm a little boy with glasses

    The one they call the geek

    A little girl who never smiles

    'Cause I've got braces on my teeth

    And I know how it feels

    To cry myself to sleep

    I'm that kid on every playground

    Who's always chosen last

    A single teenage mother

    Tryin' to overcome my past

    You don't have to be my friend

    But is it too much to ask

    Don't laugh at me

    Don't call me names

    Don't get your pleasure from my pain

    In God's eyes we're all the same

    Someday we'll all have perfect wings

    Don't laugh at me

    I'm the cripple on the corner

    You've passed me on the street

    And I wouldn't be out here beggin'

    If I had enough to eat

    And don't think I don't notice

    That our eyes never meet

    I lost my wife and little boy when

    Someone cross that yellow line

    The day we laid them in the ground

    Is the day I lost my mind

    And right now I'm down to holdin'

    This little cardboard sign...so

    Don't laugh at me

    Don't call me names

    Don't get your pleasure from my pain

    In God's eyes we're all the same

    Someday we'll all have perfect wings

    Don't laugh at me

    I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall

    I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all

    Don't laugh at me

    Don't call me names

    Don't get your pleasure from my pain

    In God's eyes we're all the same

    Someday we'll all have perfect wings

    Don't laugh at me
