Dreams Come True
Long ago in troubled times a
Korean War
A man who I would come to
know as father
In black and white
photographs a distant smile
Marching in green uniform
grunting survival
Dreams come true but only to
the few
Dreams come true what am I to
do
Dreams come true I still love
you
Dreams come true and baby I’m
due
Florence and Ted wed young in
the land of promise
In years to come I would
never see them kiss
Not once to hear the words I
love you such sad shame
I was a small child giving
myself the blame
Dreams come true but only to
the few
Dreams come true what am I to
do
Dreams come true I still love
you
Dreams come true and baby I’m
due
Rock and Roll fantasy
starring Sir Elton John
Banging out Bennie and the
Jets so far gone
A freak in a circus show
mocked by my peers
In a prison of scorn a
dungeon of fears
Dreams come true but only to
the few
Dreams come true what am I to
do
Dreams come true I still love
you
Dreams come true and baby I’m
due
Jimi played now he’s laid with
a Stratocaster
See his fingers my mind is
racing all the faster
If I had only known I could
have been a rock star
All day and all night I’d
play electric guitar
A cosmic kid lost in a social
holocaust
Tormented by the past always counting
the cost
I would never surrender I was
overcome
A victim of circumstance in
God’s kingdom
Dreams come true but only to
the few
Dreams come true what am I to
do
Dreams come true I still love
you
Dreams come true and baby I’m due
