A modest man from Mandrake

Travelled 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



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
