Glory and the Dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've only heard a few stories Really only seen a few works Tractor paints on plywood Covered with verse You see so much I see not much at all But we're treading down serpents And we're breaking the fall [Chorus] If a picture's worth a thousand words What I've seen is what I've heard While the image writhes, flickers on the screen The distance grows wide between the glory and the dream [Verse 2] You may be out there on the river With your bridges all burned Cannot swim a stroke 'Cause you never learn, you never learn Sure, some wear it like a badge Or a noose around their neck But call me home early, Lord I swear there's nothing to protect [Chorus] If a picture's worth a thousand words What I've seen is what I've heard While the image writhes, flickers on the screen The distance grows wide between the glory and the dream [Verse 1] I've only heard a few stories I've only seen a few works Tractor paints on plywood Covered up with Bible verse You see so much I see not much at all But we're treading down serpents And we're breaking the fall [Chorus] If a picture's worth a thousand words What I've seen is what I've heard While the image writhes and flickers on the screen The distance grows wide between the glory and the dream [Outro] And the dream, yeah
