Artist/Band: Tracy Chapman
Lyrics for Song: For A Dream
Lyrics for Album: Our Bright Future [2008]



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



[Chorus]



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



[Chorus]



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
