In Dreams We Trust
Words and Music by Dave Olsen


Should we be singing for our country?
Do we know what we're standing for?
What is the price that we are paying?
Do we know how to keep the score?
Are we rich or poor?

Do you think that we should measure life
Only in terms of GDP?

Chorus:
In dreams we trust
Covering our eyes from reality
Why do we
Trust in dreams?
Hiding in the dark so as not to see
Why do we
Close our eyes?
There's too much to disguise
In dreams we trust

We're always trying to get better
More value than the year before
But do we really know the value
Of what we're throwing out the door?
Why do we ignore?

Is it time to wake up from our sleep?
Do we realize the path we're on?

Chorus

In life we're faced with many choices
It's sometimes difficult to choose
The first things that we must consider
Are things we can't afford to loose
Do you read the news?

Why don't we invest in what we have?
Brush away our fears and make a change

Chorus
Covering our eyes from reality





Why do we close our eyes?
