I Will Become My Dream -
co-authors Jon Houge and

Much of our lives is spent wishing for
more,
More of that "something" we think we're
here for,
Most of the time we don't know what that
is,
Sometimes we feel like we are just in
an abyss.
But we always can see with the early morning
light,
Each day is a new beginning, or a new
day for the fight.
Every day we all have our chances to do
what is right,
And to make our mark somewhere, no matter
how slight.
We can think about the message that we
wish we could send,
To a world sometimes cruel, that is not
always our friend;
To survive can be a task that is too much
for some,
For those that have not, I hope their
souls have become one.
I picture them all gathered together in
one place,
They have friends now forever, and a smile
on their face.
When I am hurting and lonely, I hear them
whisper to me,
"Never stop dreaming of what you wish
you could be."
So, with another step forward, no matter
how futile it seems,
I will move through all my fears, and
become all of my dreams.
I know I will falter every now and then
Sometimes even thinking I won't rise again
Preparing to cash it all in and bid this
world good-bye
And then finding the strength to get back
up and try.
Searching for that "something" in the
wishes on stars
For a magic potion to erase all the invisible
scars
So many souls gone by the power of their
own hands
Thinking that no one, anywhere understands
With dreams of a peace believed to come
only with death
A permanent solution, last chance, final
exhalation of breath.
I still hear the calling of days long
since gone
When I stared at death and, for no reason,
fought on
Not giving up when I thought I had no
other way out
Not even when drowning in desperation
and self-doubt.
Temptation still mounts and I think death
is calling
Only now I have guardian angels to keep
me from falling.
I've learned that life will get better
even if I don't know what it means,
And to fight through all of my battles
to become all of my dreams.
