Dream On |
| Poetry Angels |
Lying
on your bed Hugging your pillow Your pillow wet with tears Hanging on to nothing Nothing but your fears Don't cry, boy, don't cry Life is like that sometimes. You only want your freedom But freedom is only an idea, A story. Not reality. You only have it if you dream it It isn't something you can be given You have to see it yourself, boy, Like a rainbow in the morning sky. To see a rainbow you need rain, Let it rain for you, boy, let it rain To see your freedom, you have to dream, Dream on, boy, dream on. The road of life is never straight Has many potholes, and ruts, Sometimes it doubles back But you have to keep moving Keep moving, boy, keep moving. To see a rainbow you need rain, Let it rain for you, boy, let it rain To see your freedom, you have to dream, Dream on, boy, dream on. Sometimes people leave halfway down the road Sometimes people dessert you Sometimes you feel alone But remember, boy, remember No one is alone, no one leaves for good To see a rainbow you need rain, Let it rain for you, boy, let it rain To see your freedom, you have to dream, Dream on, boy, dream on. What will you be, boy? Where is your life headed? Don't just sit there crying Get up and get ahead Which way is your road going, boy? To see a rainbow you need rain, Let it rain for you, boy, let it rain To see your freedom, you have to dream, Dream on, boy, dream on. To succeed you must dream, To dream you must have faith To have faith you must believe What do you believe, boy? Will you dream, boy? Or sit there and hug your pillow Your pillow wet with tears Hanging on to nothing Nothing but your fears? Or will you dream, boy, will you dream? To see a rainbow you need rain, Let it rain for you, boy, let it rain To see your freedom, you have to dream, Dream on, boy, dream on. |
