Pat Barrett - Hard Part Of A Dream Lyrics

You have some idea that sets you on fire You handle with care just to keep it alive You give it some wings and you aim at the sky But who knows if this baby can fly

You take a big risk, put it all on the line The "what if it fails?" keeps you up every night But what if it works and we'll know it in time Might as well give it a try

Dreaming a dream is the easiest part Seeing it through is what makes it so hard The time that it takes when others have quit The will and the fight just to move it an inch You hold it more dearly because of the pain You can't say you're brave if you're never afraid With no guarantees That's the hard part of a dream

Brace for the doubts that are surely to come When the romance is gone and you want to give up This is the moment it all hinges on It's darkest before it's the dawn

Cause dreaming a dream is the easiest part Seeing it through is what makes it so hard The time that it takes when others have quit The will and the fight just to move it an inch You hold it more dearly because of the pain You can't say you're brave if you're never afraid With no guarantees That's the hard part of a dream Oh, that's the hard part of a dream

Oh, you hold it more dearly because of the pain You can't say you're brave if you're never afraid I know it sounds crazy as dumb as it seems In over your head is the best place to be With no guarantees With no guarantees With no guarantees That's the hard part of a dream
