And dreams.

I came across a fascinating story about a man who tried to create Utopia in southern Wisconsin... talk about a dreamer. But, he built a town built upon his dream, and put up the first concrete building in the United States. It was a well-documented stop on the underground railway. The man, Colonel Goodrich was a tee-totaler and donated a large plot of land in the center of the town to be used as a park with the stipulation that there would never be a tavern in the town. Long after his death, someone checked the old records and discovered that there was no legal restriction against having a bar, and they built one overlooking Goodrich's park.. named it The Park View Bar to add insult to injury.

The last two lines of the song are:

"If you're worth your salt, you'll hold on to your dreams
They're still the best measure of man."

I respect people with a vision and the determination to achieve their goal (if it is a worthy goal.) Better to try and fail than not to try at all.
