Of all the virtues known to man
Patience is one I understand
It's in the coming through, the coming through

Where it pays off in the end

We've all been distracted by the unreal

Told to make shortcuts, sold to make deals
But it's in the coming through, the coming through
Where a true heart is revealed


I can't give up
On all these poor helpless dreams

For what have they got if they don't have me
Poor helpless dreams
Got to face up to my responsibilities

No, they don't have much
They're counting on me
Poor helpless dreams


They'll not desert you, so don't you cry
It's not some heroic sacrifice

Baby, it's nothing new, it's nothing new
But it can get you through your life


And though a dream may seem aloof
Your heart runs on faith, your mind on proof
But it's in the coming true, the coming true

We're the finally introduced

I can't give up

On all these poor helpless dreams
For what have they got if they don't have me
Poor helpless dreams

Got to face up to my responsibilities
No, they don't have much
They're counting on me

Poor helpless dreams
