From the recording SIGNS AND WONDERS
Lyrics
ONE GOOD REASON
Some dreams die softly,
And some dreams explode.
You'll find them all there
On the side of the road.
Some dreams last longer,
And some quickly fade.
They're all in the landfill
Behind the arcade.
Dreams without actions
Are like eagles without wings -
Meaningless transactions
In the giant scheme of things.
Actions without dreams
Are just going through the motions -
Like meandering streams
That never make it to the oceans.
Show me one good reason
To share my dreams with you.
They're all dressed up and decent,
But they're not dressed up for you.
Show me one good reason
To open up my heart,
To let those memories in
To come and play their part.
Some dreams die softly,
And some dreams explode.
You'll find them all there
On the side of the road.
Some dreams last longer,
And some quickly fade.
They're all in the landfill
Behind the arcade.
Dreams without actions
Are like eagles without wings -
Meaningless transactions
In the giant scheme of things.
Actions without dreams
Are just going through the motions -
Like meandering streams
That never make it to the oceans.
Show me one good reason
To share my dreams with you.
They're all dressed up and decent,
But they're not dressed up for you.
Show me one good reason
To open up my heart,
To let those memories in
To come and play their part.
Got a message in a bottle;
Got a genie in there too,
And I'm praying that God'll
Help me make it through.
I'm praying that God'll
Show me one good reason
To make it through.
