Foreclosure of a Dream

Rise so high, yet so far to fall A plan of dignity and balance for all Political breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed time Backed in a corner, caught up in the race Means to an end ended in disgrace Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost personal holocaust Foreclosure of a dream Barren lands that once filled a need Are worthless now, dead without a deed Slipping away from an iron grip Nature's scales are forced to tip The heartland cries, loss of all pride To leave ain't believing, so try and be tried Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide Now with new hope some will be proud This is no hoax, no one pushed out Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer Breaking new ground on a new frontier New ideas will surely get by No deed or dividend, some may ask "Why?" You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky
