The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - A Dollar And A Dream lyrics

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.
