can I get a minute?

Liner Notes
The lyrics started months ago as I was driving around the city on the job and saw a man crying on his porch. I wasn't sure where the song was going, until I started improvising (or trying) over the chorus, and the rhythm and words popped into my head. Oh, got it.
And now, may it be your earworm and no longer mine. I'm way behind schedule here!
Lyrics
Can I get a minute?
today in the city I saw a man on his porch with his face in his hands shoulders shaking and he looked like my brother
‘what’s wrong, child? talk to me’
Can I get a minute Can I just get a minute of your time? Can I get a minute Can I even get a minute of your time today?
today in the city a girl in a coat that’s too small walks home from her school all by her lonesome and her mom’s on a trip somewhere
‘sit down, child talk to me’
Can I get a minute Can I just get a minute of your time? Can I get a minute Can I even get a minute of your time today?
today in the city the bus stops the car wash the shops and cafes the people the stories the sirens and strays your attention please your most valuable currency (pick it up give it away)
Can I get a minute Can I just get a minute of your time? Can I get a minute Can I even get a minute of your time?

Really liked the vibe, but when you hit that first "Can I get a minute?" I was hooked. Loved the phrasing in the different sections. Your vocals sound fantastic. So nice to hear your voice!
