I once was a dreamer, with
stars in my eyes
Then I let my dreams go and
I blocked out their cries.
I wanted something else so
I let them disappear
I should have realised that
one day I would need them near.
Once they called me a dreamer,
I didn’t care
I held my dreams close, so
they were always there
But somehow reality won out
in the end
I pushed away my dreams, turned
my back on an old friend
From that day forth my soul
grew quiet and still
My spirit was broken, with
no will
I listened to those voices,
tried to do what they’d say
I regret my lost dreams this
very day.
For so long I lost my way
There were no dreams to take
my hand and say
"If you fall, we will catch
you, you’re safe and sound"
From them I heard nothing
for they weren’t around
If I had known then as I know
today
I would never have turned
my dreams away
I would have held them secure
and tight
And danced with them long
into the night. |
