[Verse] I had a dream of leavin' town The same old dream I'd always had But I can't leave my family now I'd rather die than hurt my dad [Verse 2] I had a dream that she loved me But I knew that dream could never last She said that she could only see Her future in her troubled past [Chorus] Dreams are just like flowers in the rain Dreams are just like flowers in the rain They grow so tall but never fall But when the storm's gone They're all dried up in the rain [Verse 3] I had a dream of gettin' rich Then I remembered I hate cash Now I'm in a middle-class sandwich I'd rather die than have it bad [Verse 4] I had a dream that I was free But then I woke up in my chains Now I know that I'm meant to be A wild flower that's gone to waste [Chorus] Dreams are just like flowers in the rain Dreams are just like flowers in the rain They grow so tall but never fall But when the storm's gone They're all dried up in the rain
