Lyrics
A man's reach should exceed his grasp
Of what is heaven for?
Aspiration versus reality
Ambition versus reality
To aim higher than one's capacity
Doom one to failure
That's frustration and defeat
CHORUS
That's the cardinal sin The cardinal sin
What about hope and what about despair
Shoemaker stick to your last
Hitch your wagon to a star
For what is living for?
Start into discovery, go to be practical
You've got to have a dream
CHORUS
What about hope and what about despair
Repat 1st verse
CHORUS
Sinful way, fulfilled life
Get hold of everything you cold get
Of what is heaven for?
Aspiration versus reality
Ambition versus reality
To aim higher than one's capacity
Doom one to failure
That's frustration and defeat
CHORUS
That's the cardinal sin The cardinal sin
What about hope and what about despair
Shoemaker stick to your last
Hitch your wagon to a star
For what is living for?
Start into discovery, go to be practical
You've got to have a dream
CHORUS
What about hope and what about despair
Repat 1st verse
CHORUS
Sinful way, fulfilled life
Get hold of everything you cold get
