[00:25.520]	I picture us together
[00:28.550]	Framed in gold leaf
[00:31.920]	On the mantle with the others
[00:35.500]	One big happy family
[00:38.210]	But that snapshot can't be found
[00:41.450]	And I don't trust my memory
[00:44.890]	But it's alright it's alright
[00:47.970]	For a dream
[00:50.540]
[00:54.650]	I imagine we are gathered
[00:57.820]	But this time not dressed in black
[01:01.260]	There's laughing and smiling
[01:04.269]	Not stabbing in the back
[01:07.580]	But it's too good to be true
[01:10.710]	And too bad I still recall the screams
[01:14.300]	It's alright
[01:15.880]	It's alright
[01:17.480]	All that I can claim
[01:20.130]
[01:23.620]	I keep half the picture
[01:27.810]	Mostly in my mind
[01:30.880]	Mama dressed in white
[01:33.960]	Ripped when she held your hand
[01:37.560]	Showing no signs of age
[01:39.860]	Just slightly frayed along the seam
[01:43.310]	It's alright
[01:45.700]	It's alright
[01:46.690]	All that I can claim
[01:49.910]
[01:52.640]	It's alright
[01:56.690]	All that I can claim
[01:59.870]	It's alright
[02:02.770]	And it will have to do
[02:06.470]	It's alright
[02:09.380]	Better than the pain
[02:12.700]	It's alright
[02:16.250]	Better than the truth
[02:18.980]	It's alright
[02:22.320]	Alright for a dream
[02:25.500]	It's alright
[02:28.890]	Better than fate and the great scheme
[02:32.230]	It's alright
[02:35.260]	It's alright
[02:38.500]
[02:42.540]	For christmas and for New Year
[02:45.710]	I wish and I resolve
[02:48.620]	But I'm disappointed by myself
[02:52.410]	Jesus and Santa Claus
[02:55.700]	I want to believe
[02:58.329]	She's been saved
[03:00.160]	And he's be redeemed
[03:01.750]	And it's alright it's alright
[03:04.850]	For a dream
