DREAMS
I can make songs from the words people say,
Sometimes I can even make the pain go away.
This gift is all I can truly call mine,
And I will cherish it for all time.
My dream is a gift I will proudly share,
To withhold ones gift is never fair.
Dreams count for more than it may seem,
Everyone should have a dream.
I can’t change the world with what I write,
I can only keep my dreams in sight.
For those who to take the chance to live,
To them, my humble words I give.
I give to others a second chance
to learn to love, to sing, to dance.
Alone there’s nothing I can do,
I need a friend, that might be you.
Words may be all we leave behind,
But you may be surprised at what we find
I can help you to be strong.
So come with me, bring your dreams along.
