Cinderella Man lyrics

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

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
