Special Penny
David Roth

You might think a single penny
Isn't worth too much these days
That it has so little value
You could throw a few away

If you passed one on the sidewalk
Would it even slow you down
Well, I learned about small treasures
When I saw one on the ground

I found a special penny
Right there for me to see
Gleaming and bright and shining
Somehow it called to me

So I put it in my pocket
And it came where I would go
Everyone who touched this Penny
Would quickly start to grow

They would stand up straight and stronger
They would think and laugh and cry
They would instantly be richer
They would look you in the eye

I found a special penny
Right there for me to see
Gleaming and bright and shining
Somehow it called to me

But the inside of my pocket
Was too tiny and dark and too tight
And one day my special Penny
Had lost a little light

So I took it from my pocket
And I placed it 'neath a tree
'Cause I knew this special penny
Was not only just for me

And that's where I hope you find it
Though this world may break you down
That's why a Special Penny
Is a treasure to be found

I found a special penny
Right there for me to see
Gleaming and bright and shining
Somehow it called to me
