Good dreams don't come cheap, you've got to pay for them and If you just dream when you're asleep this is no way for them to come alive... to survive.

No straight lines make up my life And all my roads have bends There's no clear-cut beginnings And so far no dead-ends.
Harry Chapin

I want the fact that I existed to mean something.
Harry Chapin

There's a vacancy, won't you come to me And fill my empty spaces I'm a motel man in a promised land That's filled with empty faces So won't you bring your sorrows bring your dreams, It's a place for you to be There's no more tomorrow or that's how it seems Won't you come to me? I've got a vacancy
Harry Chapin

If we say that no one's out there And we say we're goin' nowhere And we avoid the question Is this all that it means?
Harry Chapin

And I know you're frightened By my laughter But you're not afraid To hold my pain You see I'm never sure Just what you're after, Babe But it seems you only love me When it rains. How come you only love me when it rains?
Harry Chapin

Oh all the times I've listened, and all the times I've heard All the melodies I'm missing, and all the magic words, And all those potent voices, and the choices we had then, How I'd love to find we had that kind of choice again.

Why were the little girls all frightened To be just what they are The boys were told to ask themselves How high how far The girls were told to reach the shelves While the boys were reaching stars That's why little girls were frightened To be just what they are.
Harry Chapin

Reality is only just a word.
Harry Chapin

I've got nothing against selling out, but just let me do it for something that matters. Not so I can be Number One With a Bullet, as it were, but so I can leave this world feeling like I made a difference.
Harry Chapin
Image
And I dream that something's coming And it's not just in the wind It's more than just tomorrow It's more than where we've been It offers me a promise It's telling me, begin!
Harry Chapin
Image
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home, dad? I don't know when, But we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then.
Harry Chapin
Image
If you try to look But you don't touch Then you won't touch But you'll never feel And if you don't feel You'll never cry And if you don't cry Then you'll never heal.
Harry Chapin

It's got to be the going, not the getting there, that's good.
Harry Chapin
Image
I found you a thousand times I guess you done the same But then we lose each other It's like a children's game As I find you here again A thought runs through my mind Our love is like a circle Let's go 'round one more time.
Harry Chapin
