I Can

“I Can”

I think I need somebody
I think I need somebody who can walk on water
then show me how
pave the road and walk me down
it's hard to tell who’s winning
when it's a game you've never played

from the noisy sidewalk
to the crowded train
take a number, hustle, pull your weight

I can
face it like a man
I can
but sometimes I need a hand
I will remember where the strong ones stand
I can

no time for contemplation
too frozen up to call or write
if the ship is sinking
I just can't quit
gonna grind the peg and make it fit
-chorus-

out here in the broad daylight I can see the almighty dollar putting up quite a fight
but I've been told I can make it and not turn selfish and cold
that money's not the devil
unless you sell him your soul
