Hope and Glory

Summer night young love came calling,
was a strong as a hurricane.
Nothing could stop their love from falling,
with each other they felt no shame.

She had a dream about tomorrow,
he swore to God he'd make it come true.
Nobody told him about the sorrow,
all the storms they'd be going through.

Its the same old story, as the time goes by,
of the hope and glory in a young man's eyes.
Just when it all gets easy someone tears your heart out. Sometimes you damn-well better give up before you even start out.

Is it too late to find the "great American dream"
when it all unwinds?

So, she's taking the kids to school now,
and he's working his life away. Where is that
happy ever-after, what happened to yesterday?

Now their saving their every penny.
Their kids will be what they couldn't be...
nothing less than extraordinary, a new aristocracy.

Its the same old story, as the time goes by,
of the hope and glory in a young man's eyes.
