Poor Helpless Dreams

of all the virtues known to man
 patience is one i understand
 it's in the coming through the coming through
 where it pays off in the end
 we've all been distracted by the unreal
 told to take shortcuts sold to make deals
 but it's in the coming through the coming through
 where a true heart is revealed
 i can't give up on all these poor helpless dreams
 for what have they got if they don't have me
 poor helpless dreams
 got to face up to my responsibilities
 no they don't have much they're counting on me
 poor helpless dreams
 they'll not desert you so don't you cry
 it's not some heroic sacrifice
 baby it's nothing new it's nothing new
 but it can get you though your life
 and though a dream may seem aloof
 your heart runs on faith your mind on proof
 but it's in the coming true the coming true
 where they're finally introduced
