Jono Manson If I Was 10,000 People

Performed on March 14, 2008 in Santa Fe, NM, USA
If I was ten thousand people
I could do just what I do now
and then there'd be ten thousand of us
who wouldn't know why or how

If I was ten thousand people
I'd buy myself a drink
and I wouldn't care, not even for a minute
about what the rest of them think

but if I was ten thousand people
I wouldn't feel so abused
I'd take strength just from knowing
I'm not the only one who's dazed and confused

maybe I am ten thousand people
maybe you're one of me
the poor, the tired, the huddled masses
yearning to breathe free
and we've got a million stories
that never be will be told
locked outside the golden door
sleeping in the cold

If I was ten thousand people
I could stand on the Washington mall
and the world could look right through me
just like I wasn't there at all

If I was ten thousand people
I could empty out my a.t.m.
and still not have a thousand dollars
if they're all in the shape that I'm in

maybe I'm just nobody
but I know right from wrong
and if I was ten thousand people
maybe somebody could hear this song
ten thousand voices strong
anybody want to sing along?
