Lyrics About "Soft Place to Land" (Commentary) - Sara Bareilles

Sugar
Sugar, butter, flour
Sometimes I still see her
My mother the dreamer
She'd say nothing's impossible child
A dream needs believing
To taste like the real thing
Like some stranger you recognize
So pure so electric
So sure so connected
To those little believers inside
May we all be so lucky
But dreams are elusive
The kind we've gotten used to is
Nothing I can feel
Nothing I can hold
Nothing that I have
Nothing that I know
Dreams come and they go
But hold them and keep them
And know that you need them
When your breaking point's all that you have
A dream is a soft place to land
May we all be so lucky
Sugar, butter, flour
