From LyricWiki
This song is performed by Rush and appears on the album A Farewell To Kings (1977) and on the album Different Stages (1998).
A modest man from Mandrake
Traveled 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.
Eyes wide open
Heart undefended
Innocence untarnished.
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 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.
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.
