foreclosure of a dream

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 chase

foreclosure of a dream

those visions never seen

until all is lost

personal holocaust

foreclosure of a dream

barren 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 dies

loss of all pride

to leave ain't believing

so try and be tried

insufficient funds

insanity and suicide

foreclosure of a dream

those visions never seen

until all is lost

personal holocaust

foreclosure of a dream

the congress will push me to raise taxes and i'll say
