For a Dream |
| I picture us together |
| Framed in gold leaf |
| On the mantle with the others |
| One big happy family |
| But that snapshot can’t be found |
| And I don’t trust my memory |
| But it’s alright it’s alright |
| For a dream |
| I imagine we are gathered |
| But this time not dressed in black |
| There’s laughing and smiling |
| Not stabbing in the back |
| But it’s too good to be true |
| And too bad I still recall the screams |
| But it’s alright it’s alright |
| For a dream |
| I keep half the picture |
| Mostly in my mind |
| Mama dressed in white |
| Ripped when she held your hand |
| Showing no signs of age |
| Just slightly frayed along the seam |
| But it’s alright it’s alright |
| For a dream |
| It’s alright |
| All that I can claim |
| It’s alright |
| And it will have to do |
| It’s alright |
| Better than the pain |
| It’s alright |
| Better than the truth |
| It’s alright |
| Alright for a dream |
| It’s alright |
| Better than fate and the great scheme |
| It’s alright |
| It’s alright |
| For Christmas and for New Year |
| I wish and I resolve |
| But I’m disappointed by myself, Jesus and Santa Claus |
| I want to believe |
| She’s been saved |
| And he’s be redeemed |
| And it’s alright it’s alright |
| For a dream |
