[00:14.71]I had a good dream-
[00:19.61]We built a home.
[00:22.45]It was far from perfect,
[00:25.81]But we made it our own.
[00:28.93]We lived a good life,
[00:33.23]We gave and we borrowed.
[00:36.70]It was far from perfect,
[00:40.06]But we made it our own.
[00:43.32]
[00:43.33]When everything around us changed, we felt okay.
[00:50.84]No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape.
[00:57.15]When we took one step forward, and five steps behind,
[01:03.78]We were still more than able to walk a straight line.
[01:10.53]
[01:10.54]We had a white picket fence in the front yard,
[01:14.73]Where our grass was plenty green.
[01:17.65]Every window in our house
[01:20.24]Welcomed in the sun's company.
[01:24.57]
[01:24.58]We had hardwood floors and unlocked doors,
[01:28.99]Our glass was plenty full.
[01:31.95]Though our bills were only barely met,
[01:35.58]Our hearts were plenty whole.
[01:38.37]
[01:38.38]When everything around us changed, we felt okay.
[01:45.50]No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape.
[01:51.79]When darkness was the price of light, we weren't afraid.
[01:58.59]For the time we've spent was more than worth
[02:02.19]Any interest that we've paid.
[02:05.07]We lived a good life, a good life,
[02:12.66]When my eyes were closed.
[02:17.80]
[02:19.24]Though the question marks were all the same
[02:23.26]And the burdens never left,
[02:26.39]We gambled everything we loved,
[02:28.73]As though there was some kind of safety net.
[02:33.20]
[02:33.21]When everything around us changed, we felt okay.
[02:40.62]No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape.
[02:47.06]When darkness was the price of light, we weren't afraid.
[02:54.24]For the time we've spent was more than worth
[02:57.88]Any interest that we've paid.
[03:01.23]
[03:14.81]And when my good dream came to an end,
[03:22.26]I woke up more than ready to bend.
