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
