A Dollar And A Dream Lyrics

A Dollar And A Dream

I've got a dollar, that I want to save
safe in my pocket, I'll try to hold
fast
hey! it might be my last
I know what I've got, folded safe in its
spot
I earned a dollar, it's not here to share
I've got a dollar and
that's all I've got
a million more is just a single grain
a grain of
sand, or just one drop of rain
a small amount might make the difference
these days
a dollar and a dream is all I can raise
I had a dream, I had
all the answers
to all the questions, I've ever been asked
and in my
dream, I had all the answers
to all the questions, I've ever asked
myself
man what a dream, it sure felt great
took to the streets, 'cause I
couldn't wait
to freely give wisdom and share what I knew
I had a dream
and that's all I had
a million here, lay down in pain every night
a
million there, to stay alive must fight
I'm sure my numbers
underestimate
a dollar and a dream, I swear it's not too late
I had a
dollar, I wanted to save
keep in my pocket, I held fast
a dollar bill,
that I would take to my grave
deep in my pocket like it was my last
look
for the dollar, now it's not there
even the pants are a different pair
I
earned the dollar, I had to share
I had a dollar and that's all I had
a
million more, is just a star in the sky
tip of the iceberg, but we've all
got to try
our works cut out, and there's work to be done
a dollar and a
dream, is step number, step number one
