There Only Was One Choice Lyrics

One of the many things I love about this song is the comparison of America to the sinking Titanic. America, the most powerful country in the world - unsinkable - is slowly capsizing while Harry feels he is nothing more than a fiddler, singing as the ship goes down.

Good dreams don't come cheap You've got to pay for them If you just dream when you're asleep There is no way for them to come alive to survive

  • this is my all-time favorite quote, it's very inspirational. You have to work hard to achieve your dreams, or else they'll stay just that- a dream.
