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 splendour
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
