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 chaseForeclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
Personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dreamBarren land 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 suicideForeclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
Personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dreamNow with new hope some will be proud
This is no hoax, no one pushed out
Recieve a preieve and bea pioneer
Break new ground of a new frontier
New ideas will surely get by
No deed, or dividend some may ask, why?
You'll find the solution, the answer's in the skyRise 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 timeForeclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
Personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dreamForeclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
Personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dreamHolocaust
