Verse 1 She didn’t dream of her future, no, she didn’t dare, Said the dreaming kind of magic never floated in her air. But she thought about tomorrow, had a plan she held inside— Wanted to be a Homecraft teacher, full of heart and pride. Funny how the years go rollin’, time can tumble fast, Fifty years of turns and twists, and she smiles at how they passed. Not much of a cook now, but crafts still make her day, Sewing threads of who she is in her own gentle way. Chorus ’Cause dreaming and thinking ain’t the same, not to her mind, Dreaming’s building castles far too high for life to find. Thinking keeps her steady, keeps her walking straight and strong— Life got in the way, but she stayed true all along. Yeah, she stayed true all along. Verse 2 She watched the dreamers drifting, hats off to every one, While she stuck to planning, getting everyday things done. Didn’t have the thrills and spills that others like to claim, But she held onto her honesty when life got in her way. Reality comes knocking, doesn’t care about your plans, She learned to take the world as-is, and face it where she stands. Thinking’s been her anchor, thinking’s been her guide, A quiet sort of courage walking always by her side. Chorus ’Cause dreaming and thinking ain’t the same, not to her mind, Dreaming’s building castles far too high for life to find. Thinking keeps her steady, keeps her walking straight and strong— Life got in the way, but she stayed true all along. Yeah, she stayed true all along. Bridge But maybe someday later, when the world slows down a touch, She’ll let a little daydream in—doesn’t have to be too much. Maybe just a moment where her heart can float and play, But right now she keeps on moving through her everyday. Final Chorus ’Cause dreaming and thinking ain’t the same, she always knew, But she made a life that’s honest, and she walked it strong and true. She might daydream in the future, but she’s living life her way— Life got in the way, but she’s still standing here today. Yeah, she’s still standing here today.
