Cinderella Man Lyrics - Different Stages (live) - Rush

A modest man from Mandrake 

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 splendor 

A manic depressive 

He walks in the rain

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 

Photos 

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 

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
