“Find A Dream”
Plodding along day after day
Never seeming to get anywhere
The world is holding you at bay
Sometimes even knocking you back
But you continue to work
To get back on the track
Until you find what it is
That you lack
Sometimes you never find it
But you keep looking for the way
Dreams have been shattered
Dreams have been broken
The dreams you once had
Are now only a token
But you make new dreams
You make new plans
Whether or not you can reach them
You don’t really know
But you’ve got to give it all you got
You’ve got to give it a go
You go out day after day
Doing what you have to do
Not wanting your new dreams
To go astray
You’re mindful of your only purpose
And you do whatever it is that you must
And then it happens again
Disaster strikes down all your dreams
You want to give up
You want to cry
But somehow you manage to capture some self-esteem
You ask yourself why
Why is it me
That fate must frown down upon
But then you look around to see
That somehow you just have to hang on
Until your soul is filled with glee
For one thing that’s true about dreams
No matter how many time they’ve been broken
No matter how many times they’ve become just a token
We can always create a brand new dream
And look for it in tomorrow
Fighting through our heartbreak
And all our sorrow
To plod along day by day
To somehow find a way
Until we find the dream
That we can look to and look to
And make come true
