Now I'll no longer be that beg-gar.' You've made my golden
Dreams come true..' For He took my rags and gave back
Riches, now my destiny is up to you.'

My clothes may

'Twas Christmas when Cinder’s went to the ball
In the most romantic season of all

Danced each dance with her, till she heard her call.

The call came when the clock struck at midnight 
Cinder's ran quickly as she could, in fright
Before her best dress
Became repossessed
As her fairy godmother said it might.

A pauper begs at the town gate
and sets, each day, a date with fate.
He harbours dreams where riches flow
but morning finds him on skid row.

From rages to riches.
I used to be Lazarus, they threw bread crumbs at me like a church mouse, l had no choice but to take what l could....

The Worlds human snakes have raised the stakes,
From table scraps to pies and cakes.

Rags To Riches

Looking around at others
Pure envy is what i see,
They have beautiful things

I want a new career

I have no real experience
At least compaired to you.

My clothes have no style
I need to win the lottery,
Oh what i could do then
With all that much money.

After work I'll buy
