Street of Shattered Dreams

I walked alone Down a street of shattered dreams Paved with shards of rainbow colored glass So many broken people I sadly pass Betty and Bob up ahead Looking lonely and partially dead How did they ever end up here From Betty's eyes drop salty tears More shards of rainbow colored glass As all the years they quickly pass Wanting a son or baby girl The completion of their desired world Lining the street Houses devoid of heat These lost people I long to meet Dark eyes peer out as I pass Watching as I walk on their broken glass On one of the porches Sits Delta Dawn She still has that flower on Her dreams like her lover are sadly gone On another porch sits lonely Dan With a loaded gun in his hand He can't seem to face this life's demands He has always felt like half a man For some it seems easier to stay in this place No new disappointments to face Hearts no longer keeping pace Darkened eyes Former light no trace I look to Heaven I say a prayer Tell me God are you there If you are do you even care I feel so much sadness everywhere In a moment I feel an angel kiss I could not ask for more than this The rainbow glass begins to meld As all God's beauty is beheld From the street There Glows a light All color joins becoming white The ultimate dream is realized Joy restored to tired eyes I walk down a street paved in light A place where there are happy sights Bob and Betty no more tears Happy that they made it here Dan now finally satisfied He know the truth the Devil lied He feels accepted at last No longer ruled by a broken past Delta Dawn and lover walk hand in hand A life with color no longer bland On each side Pretty houses line This street this place that is divine A place broken dreams go to be fixed Where together with God's love they are fully mixed A place for dreamers To dream special dreams From dark to color their minds will shift As through God's spirit They receive his gifts
