One in a Million

My mother, she is worried with reasons
I ain't got no cash, I ain't got no bright future
Mother, don't you worry, I said to her
My words and my guitar will bring me the fame I deserve
But the truth is I'm a soldier
In a war where everybody just wants to earn
The dimmed light of attention where they hurt

I am just one in a million
With my tunes and dreams in my eyes
If you ever remember me, just know that it ain't sad
To be one in a million
Shining with all those other stars
If no one ever remembers me, I'll sit down
To listen where you hurt

I gather all my stories, even the worst
Then try some rhymes and
Failed till it sticks together
My feelings both a blessing and a strange curse
I say, I cry sometimes but this sometimes may last forever
And the truth is, I'm not better
Than anyone at moving hearts still I want to earn
The dimmed light of attention where I hurt

I am just one in a million
With my tunes and dreams in my eyes
If you ever remember me, just know that it ain't sad
To be one in a million
Shining with all those others stars
If no one ever remembers me, I'll sit down
To listen where you hurt, to listen where I hurt, to listen where we hurt

I am just one in a million
With my tunes and dreams in my eyes
If you ever remember me, just know that it ain't sad
To be one in a million
Shining with all those other stars
If no one ever remembers me, I'll sit down
To listen with my heart
