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 heald 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
