[Intro]
This is a song off "Welcome to Struggleville." It's only kind of loosely based on some of the artwork of the Reverend Howard Finster. Song's called "The Glory and the Dream." Hey!
[Verse 1]
I've only heard a few stories
Only seen a few works
Tractor paints on plywood
Covered with verse
You see so much
I see not much at all, no
Treading down serpents
And we're breaking the fall
[Chorus]
If a picture's worth a thousand words
What I've seen is what I've heard
While the image writhes, flickers on the screen
The distance grows wide between the glory and the dream
[Verse 2]
Well, you may be out there on the river
With your bridges all burned
Cannot swim a stroke, oh, no
'Cause you never learn, never learn
Sure, some wear it like a badge
Or a noose around their neck
But call me home early, Lord
I swear there's nothing to protect
