Written by Mark Robertson, Jimmy Abegg, and Rick Elias
I got a pocket full of trouble man, and an idle mind
Though I don't want it, don't need it, I always seem to feed it
Now it's grown up fine
I'll put my pride up on a shelf
This time I'm crying out for help
I wanna leave it all behind me now
Get beyond myself
Hear this ragamuffin's prayer
Cuz' I got nothing else
Chorus:
I don't need nothing but faith to make me strong
I don't need nothing but hope to keep moving on
But most of all love
I don't need nothing this world ever claimed to give
Throw the old man away and let the new man live
And all that he'll need to rise above
Is faith, hope and love
I got a pocket full of broken dreams, and a shattered heart
Though I can mend it, can end it,
I can't go on pretending so it's back to the start
If I have to run this race again
I'm gonna run until I win
I wanna leave it all behind me now
Get beyond my fears
Take this ragamuffin's faith
From ragamuffin tears
Chorus
