Poor Helpless Dreams

Of all the virtues known to man

Patience is one I understand

It's in the coming through

The coming through

Where it pays off in the end

We've all been distracted by the unreal

Told to take shortcuts, sold to make deals

But it's in the coming through

The coming through

Where a true heart is revealed

I can't give up

On all these poor helpless dreams

For what have they got if they don't have me

Poor helpless dreams

Got to face up

To my responsibilities

No, they don't have much

They're counting on me

Poor helpless dreams

They'll not desert you

So don't you cry

It's not some heroic sacrifice

Baby, it's nothing new

It's nothing new

But it can get you though your life

And though a dream may seem aloof

Your heart runs on faith

Your mind on proof

But it's in the coming true

The coming true

Where they're finally introduced

I can't give up

On all these poor helpless dreams

For what have they got if they don't have me

Poor helpless dreams

Got to face up

To my responsibilities

No, they don't have much

They're counting on me

Poor helpless dreams
