A Dream Revived

Dream Again

Can you go back to your childhood, and dare to dream again?

When your daddy asked what you wanna be, do you remember what you said?

Did you wanna go to the moon, and live within the stars?

Did you wanna dance in front of millions, and captivate their hearts?

If you could pick anything, what would you be?

Can you find your imagination, and set the captive free?

Dare to dream--again.

Dare to leap--again.

Dare to reach--again.

Dare to be, again.

Do you recall when you were 10, and your momma lost her job.

When you found out nothing was for sure.

And sometimes good people fall.

It pulled you out of your daydream

And into reality.

That was the first time you put limits on what could be.

That day you got home late from work, and grabbed the mail on your way in.

And you found that letter from the school you applied early decision.

Your first choice & your papa's almamater--you were sure of your reply.

But when you opened up that letter, it said you were denied.

It felt like your life ended that moment.

All your plans could never be.

But don't you know there are so many paths from here to your destiny?

Remember when your boss called you into her office

And said they had to let you go.

Or when you got down on one knee

And your girlfriend told you, "no?"

Just because it doesn't go your way, doesn't mean it isn't right.

Darkness doesn't last always--and neither does the night.
