FIND A DREAM

 

January 7th

 

“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
