Dollar Store Dreams
There are many places far away where people don’t have much
But they have their friends and families and that seems enough
The clothes they wear were worn before by people from a distant shore
The homes they have are small enough to keep them close
The longer I look, the more that it seems
The happiest people have dollar store dreams (repeat two lines)
The TV shows tell us how the rich and famous live
They brag about their houses full of empty rooms
It’s all about the money, buying things to pass the time
To find out in the end things aren’t important
The longer I look….
When I was a boy roaming the streets with my friends
Making our own games, no money to spend
We didn’t have much, we shared what we had
The time spent together meant more
Than what we might buy at any store
I’m a lucky man who’s left his working days behind
And there’s no more things I need
Now I can walk outside, watch the clouds float by
Get used to being free
The longer I look…..
