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
