She stands at her frosted window
Wipes the morning condensation away
She focuses on the flowing stream
outside
As she considers what she’ll do
with her day
As she struggles alone to send her
children off to school
The tax increases on property and
fuel
And she says oh, if a dream could
become reality
If a dream could become reality
I’d fly away from here, escape the
debt and fear of all these years
Her father told her as a child,
girl save your money for a rainy day
But day after day endless rain
pours down
She’ll have these bills to pay
until her dying day
A fear of death makes her pray to
the Lord
Age brings knowledge and wisdom but
no reward
And she says oh, if a dream could
become reality
If a dream could become reality
I would escape from here from
loneliness and tears
If a dream could become reality, if
a dream could become reality
Her friends of old only communicate
these days
By phone message since they all
left town
Well she’ll remain a prisoner to
her roots
In this place one day they will lay
her body down, oh lay her body down
And she says oh, if a dream could
become reality
If a dream could become reality
I would escape from here from
loneliness and fear
If a dream could become reality, if
a dream could become reality
If a dream could become reality, if
a dream could become reality
Can a dream become reality, can my
dream become reality
