The sun shines as i walk passed a fountain
The sidewalk lined with rosebushes
A concrete sculpture; a man somber in face
A mirror image of myself? it has my eyes
Spending ten cents a day on dreams i'll never reach
On my knees again making promises i can't keep
The sun shines off my dime dropped in the water
That ripples in uniform on splash-down
Looking up i feel the sun on my face
Kneeling on the grass i envy every soul walking by
Spending ten cents a day on dreams i'll never reach
On my knees again making promises i can't keep
Still i play pretend, make believe
I can, i will
The sun's nothing special
Just another star
Just another star
Only not that far
Away
The sidewalk lined with rosebushes
A concrete sculpture; a man somber in face
A mirror image of myself? it has my eyes
Spending ten cents a day on dreams i'll never reach
On my knees again making promises i can't keep
The sun shines off my dime dropped in the water
That ripples in uniform on splash-down
Looking up i feel the sun on my face
Kneeling on the grass i envy every soul walking by
Spending ten cents a day on dreams i'll never reach
On my knees again making promises i can't keep
Still i play pretend, make believe
I can, i will
The sun's nothing special
Just another star
Just another star
Only not that far
Away
