I had a good dream-
|
We built a home.
|
It was far from perfect,
|
But we made it our own.
|
|
We lived a good life,
|
We gave and we borrowed.
|
It was far from perfect,
|
But we made it our own.
|
|
When everything around us changed, we felt okay.
|
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape.
|
|
When we took one step forward, and five steps behind,
|
We were still more than able to walk a straight line.
|
|
We had a white picket fence in the front yard,
|
Where our grass was plenty green.
|
Every window in our house
|
Welcomed in the sun's company.
|
|
We had hardwood floors and unlocked doors,
|
Our glass was plenty full.
|
Though our bills were only barely met,
|
Our hearts were plenty whole.
|
|
When everything around us changed, we felt okay.
|
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape.
|
When darkness was the price of light, we weren't afraid.
|
For the time we've spent was more than worth
|
Any interest that we've paid.
|
|
We lived a good life, a good life,
|
When my eyes were closed.
|
Though the question marks were all the same
|
And the burdens never left,
|
We gambled everything we loved,
|
As though there was some kind of safety net.
|
|
When everything around us changed, we felt okay.
|
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape.
|
When darkness was the price of light, we weren't afraid.
|
For the time we've spent was more than worth
|
Any interest that we've paid.
|
|
And when my good dream
|
Came to an end,
|
I woke up more than ready to bend.
