Cinderella Man

A modest man from Mandrake 
Traveled rich to the city 
He had a need to discover 
A use for his newly-found wealth 

Because he was human
Because he had goodness
Because he was moral
They called him insane 

Delusions of grandeur
Visions of splendor
A manic-depressive
He walks in the rain 

Eyes wide open 
Heart undefended 
Innocence untarnished 

Cinderella Man
Doing what you can
They can't understand
What it means 

Cinderella Man 
Hang on to your plans 
Try as they might 
They cannot steal your dreams, whoa 

In the betrayal of his love, he awakened 
To face a world of cold reality 
And a look in the eyes of the hungry 
Awakened him to what he could do 

He held up his riches
To challenge the hungry
Purposeful motion
For one so insane 

They tried to fight him
Just couldn't beat him
This manic-depressive
Who walks in the rain

Cinderella Man
Doing what you can
They can't understand
What it means 

Cinderella Man 
Hang on to your plans 
Try as they might 
They cannot steal your dreams
