I picture us together Framed in gold leaf On the mantle with the others One big happy family But that snapshot can't be found And I don't trust my memory But it's alright it's alright For a dream
I imagine we are gathered But this time not dressed in black There's laughing and smiling Not stabbing in the back But it's too good to be true And too bad I still recall the screams It's alright It's alright All that I can claim
I keep half the picture Mostly in my mind Mama dressed in white Ripped when she held your hand Showing no signs of age Just slightly frayed along the seam It's alright It's alright All that I can claim
It's alright All that I can claim It's alright And it will have to do It's alright Better than the pain It's alright Better than the truth It's alright Alright for a dream It's alright Better than fate and the great scheme It's alright It's alright
For christmas and for New Year I wish and I resolve But I'm disappointed by myself Jesus and Santa Claus I want to believe She's been saved And he's be redeemed And it's alright it's alright For a dream
