If Dreams Can Die

If dreams can die it's time to cry If hopes of yore are now a lie When concentrating hurts your brain Your best-laid plans go down the drain The dreaded judgment may be nigh A flicker stirs, you soar up high You try to go against the grain Your muscles ache, you feel the strain If dreams can die The question on your lips is why Your doc's the best that money buys Why does he sing his old refrain There is no cure for all your pain You hang your head, emit a sigh If dreams can die (Iambic Tetrameter)
