I had a dollar I wanted 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 could raise.
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 know.
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 and 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 work's cut out and there's work to be done.
A dollar and a dream is step number, step number one.
