I picture us together
Framed in gold leaf
On the mantle with the others
One big happy family
But that snapshot can´t be found
And I don´t trust my memory

But it´s alright it´s alright
For a dream

I imagine we are gathered
But this time not dressed in black
There´s laughing and smiling
Not stabbing in the back
But it´s too good to be true
And too bad I still recall the screams

[Chorus]

I keep half the picture
Mostly in my mind
Mama dressed in white
Ripped when she held your hand
Showing no signs of age
Just slightly frayed along the seam

[Chorus]

It´s alright
All that I can claim
It´s alright
And it will have to do
It´s alright
Better than the pain
It´s alright
Better than the truth
It´s alright
Alright for a dream
It´s alright
Better than fate and the great scheme
It´s alright
It´s alright

For christmas and for New Year
I wish and I resolve
But I´m disappointed by myself Jesus and Santa Claus
I want to believe
She´s been saved
And he´s be redeemed

And it´s alright it´s alright
For a dream
