I know what I must do every day
Keep my body clean and my fears at bay
Brush my teeth like it’s a holy rite
And hit the pillow by nine each night
I’m not a rich man
No cash to show
But my heart’s a garden where love can grow
Middle class man with a middle class crew
We live small lives
But our skies stay blue
My pockets are empty
My spirit’s not
I drink from the well of what I’ve got
My dreams don’t sparkle
They’re made of clay
But they shine in the sun of an honest day
I’m no king
No crown to wear
But I’ve got peace and a rocking chair
I’m not a rich man
No cash to show
But my heart’s a garden where love can grow
Middle class man with a middle class crew
We live small lives
But our skies stay blue
Some call me boring
Some call me plain
But I dance in the drizzle
I sing in the rain
No golden castles
No velvet throne
Just a quiet kingdom I call my own
