A song dedicated to our guy 'Dubya' for doing more than his share to make songs like this possible...
hold on to your dreams
randy gould
somewhere
Story behind the song
I have to wonder about George Bush: Is it just plain old stupidity, or are these well thought-out decisions that simply disregard the people and the country he is sworn to serve?
Lyrics
She sits in his room in the warm, morning light
Looking through pictures of him as a child
And thumbing through photos, from toddler to teen
His mother is flooded with memories
And somewhere between all the joy and the pain
She comes upon something that freezes her there
Her little boy, maybe seven or eight
Dressed like a soldier, playing make believe
And the sun’s shining into a window somewhere
And somewhere the grass is growing green in the field
And somewhere a mama rocks her baby to sleep
But somewhere’s a long way from here
It’s not here
She was sitting in the kitchen looking through the mail
Her husband had gone off to work for the day
The knock on the door made a terrible sound
And it seemed to her to echo all through the house
How can one moment change everything
Crush all reality, shatter a dream
Sometimes she wonders how she will survive
Such is a mother’s love for her child
