	Story Behind the Song All the naysayers *still* say it can't be done, even when the evidence is in plain sight. How deep can one's head be in the sand (or, perhaps, up one's rectal orifice)? Asbury Park *is* on the way back from the abyss. The resurrection is at hand, and all because of a hard core of believers who persevered when everyone else turned their backs. Well, to quote one distinguished member of the city's legendary music scene, "I remain among the believers." Recorded June 11, 2003 at Retromedia Studios, Red Bank, NJ Engineered and mixed by John Noll Piano, organ, vocal -- The Hesh Lead guitar -- PK Lavengood Rhythm guitar -- Mike Dalton Bass -- Steve Lopresto Drums -- Rick Oricchio Lyrics There she stands Like a castle made of sand Rising from the strip of land down by the sea Like an ancient marine Palace of a dowager queen Straight out of a fairy tale or dream She calls out to me The city's been restored to its rightful place After decades being kept down Now people come from far and wide to see her beaming face And to view the jewel in her crown The days are past When her nobility was downcast But she endured and outlasted the adversity And now she shines Gleaming and polished up so fine With a countenance so divine for all eternity Pilgrims come from the ends of the earth To hear the music played in her halls To bear witness to the magnificent rebirth To see majesty standing tall CHORUS This is no dream All you have to do is will it This is no dream It is up to you to fulfill it. Sit inside You're overwhelmed with pride The visionaries haven't lied or merely said sooth The seats are full Thanks to new prestige and pull Thanks to the Most Bountiful, and that's the truth The famous faces have returned And so have the sold-out crowds It is so good to see how the tide has turned And to hear her praises sung aloud To hear her name mentioned once more In the same breath with the best She radiates her glory onto the whole shore And like her, may we all be blessed CHORUS This is no dream All you have to do is will it This is no dream It is up to you to fulfill it This is no dream It is a part of your very soul This is no dream To see your days renewed, as of old.
