Coins in the Jar - Demo

One of the songs from the upcoming Christopher Ames CD, JOURNEYMAN, called 'Coins in the Jar'. This song, co-written with Alyson Bleistine, looks at the dreams that can be achieved when we put a few coins in the jar of the dreamer.

Coins in the Jar

There's a kid across the street
Setting up a homemade stand
Cookies and lemonade
All made by momma's hand
25 cents a glass may not get him too far
But he's dreaming big 'bout what he'll do
With those coins in the jar

There's a girl around the block
Singing on a stage
At the local coffee spot
Tips are all they pay
Pouring out her heart through the notes of her guitar
She hears the record that she'll make
With those coins in the jar

There's a old man in this town
Who wants to help the poor
And every year the shoes and blankets
They cost him more
He begs his church for loose change from pockets, couch and car
So he can save another life
With those coins in the jar

Oh, I can feel the hope
That feeds their living
Oh, I can see their dreams
Like holes in the floor of heaven
Never giving up on who they are... so put some coins in the jar

The widow came into the room
She felt the eyes upon her
Scorn drilling holes in her heart
She kept on moving
She didn't let them stop her
And Jesus smiled when she put her coins in the jar
