Dreams Come True

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
