If I Had a Nickle

Verse 1 If I had a nickel for every time I changed, 'Cause someone made a comment 'bout how I looked that day, I'd have a palace made of gold, a castle on a hill, I'd be the richest person with a fortune to fulfill. Chorus If I had a nickel for each mean word spoken, I'd be rolling in wealth, no dreams left unbroken. And if I had a nickel for every friend I lost, I’d be swimming in riches, counting up the cost. Verse 2 If I had a nickel for every confident stride, I'd be living in rags, no fortune on my side. Poor in self-assurance, a leader in disguise, I'd struggle to find wealth in my own eyes. Bridge Rich in changes, poor in grace, Living life in a delicate place. Money can't buy the friendships I need, Or the strength to let my true self lead. Chorus If I had a nickel for each mean word spoken, I'd be rolling in wealth, no dreams left unbroken. And if I had a nickel for every friend I lost, I’d be swimming in riches, counting up the cost. Verse 3 If I had a nickel for every deep thought shared, I'd be empty-handed, no wealth to be spared. Poor in speaking desires, in revealing my heart, I'd be searching for courage, to play my part. Outro If I had a nickel for every change I made, I’d trade it all away for the love that never fades. For every time I led, for every truth I’d say, I’d keep my head up high, in my own unique way.
