Nothing in my pocket
But an empty wallet
Not a quarter to call my own

My cupboard’s bare
I’ve got nothing to share
It’s a good thing I’m all alone

I don’t have two cents to my name
But I refuse to be ashamed

I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken

My rent’s past due
No job has come through
I hope my landlord lets me stay

My bills piled high
Collectors just sigh
I’ve got nothing to send their way

I don’t have two cents to my name
But I refuse to be ashamed

I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken

My luck’s gonna turn
If there’s one thing I’ve learned
Somehow things always turn out

I’ll be back on my feet
And not out on the street
That’s one thing I am sure about

I don’t have two cents to my name
But I refuse to be ashamed

I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken
I’m broke, not broken

Today might be my last
Can’t live in tomorrow, can’t live in the past
Today I’m stepping out
Gotta jump up, gonna scream and shout

Today is the day and I’m feeling good
More right than wrong from where I stood
This moment in time is as it should be

Today just might be everything
That you ever thought that it could be
Today your options are endless
Create the world that you want to see

Today is the day and you’re feeling good
Your life is your own, do as you would
Or better yet, do as you should

Today, Today, Today

Today is the day and you’re feeling good
Your life is your own, do as you would
Or better yet, do as you should

Today, Today, Today
Today, Today, Today

I laughed the day you said you’d leave
I left and said that I don’t believe
After the laughter came the tears

Falling, falling, falling
Down like rain

I told my friends that I didn’t care
I laughed about our whole affair
After the laughter came the tears

Falling, falling, falling
Down like rain

My pride kept me from showing them
I never thought I’d love again
But by myself you’ll never know
Just what I’ve been through

My lips concealed a heart of pain
I made believe but all in vain
After the laughter came the tears

Falling, falling, falling
Down like rain

My pride kept me from showing them
I never thought I’d love again
But by myself you’ll never know
Just what I’ve been through

I laughed the day you said you’d leave
I left and said that I don’t believe
After the laughter came the tears

Falling, falling, falling
Down like rain

I told you once, I told you twice
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white
Young or old, your hopes are high or low
Times are hard wherever you go

You and me, we are the same
Running around in this crazy game
First round’s fine, the next is strange
We’re all waiting for our luck to change

What’s it going to take to get us there?
You can’t just show up
On a wing and a prayer

I know just what we need
More kindness, less greed
There’s plenty there to pass around
But very few trickles down

I hope you find at the end of the day
The will to go or the will to stay
But if you don’t it’ll be okay
Just keep on keepin’ on

What’s it going to take to get us there?
You can’t just show up
On a wing and a prayer

I know just what we need
More kindness, less greed
There’s plenty there to pass around
But very few trickles down

I told you once, I told you twice
I told you once, I told you twice
Very few trickles down

Baby, what’s your name?
Do you know the rules of the game?
The price for your soul is always the same
The price for your soul is fortune and fame

Baby, how old are you?
Are you old enough to know the truth?
When you win, there’s something you lose
When you win, it sure costs you

Baby, how do you live?
Are you someone who takes or someone who gives?
Do you hold a grudge or do you forgive?
Do you let go, do you let live?

Baby, Baby
Baby, Baby
Baby, Baby

There are those who say you’re wild
Always acting like a child
You’re crazy

You refuse to conform
Never follow social norms
You’re crazy

But they don’t know or understand that
You’ve got dreams and you’ve got plans
And they’ll never know the truth

They say it’s a matter of time
Before you lose your mind
They call you crazy, just plain crazy

What would you do, would you walk away
When someone laughs and starts to say
You’re crazy

They don’t know that you are strong
Someday soon you’ll prove them wrong
They’re crazy

They don’t know or understand that
You’ve got dreams and you’ve got plans
And they’ll never know the truth

It’s just a matter of time
Before you start to shine
You’re not crazy, no not crazy

People will tell you that you were wrong
For what you’ve said or what you’ve done
They’re crazy

Your conscience tells you that you were right
But some will cut you out of spite
They’re crazy

They don’t know or understand that
You’ve got dreams and you’ve got plans
And you’re going to be alright

It’s just a matter of time
Before you start to shine
You’re not crazy, no not crazy
Not crazy, not crazy
