Dreams

The little dreamer who always dreamt,

Of a land far away where her days were spent,

Where she was the sole ruler of her own destiny,

Where luck played the joker and she played the queen.

Far far away and hidden from the world,

There danced the spirits and there played the girl,

It was where she could be anyone she wanted to be,

Where she wasn’t afraid to be herself, where she could believe.

She always wanted to sing her song,

And in her little wonderland everyone played along,

They told her she could reach for the stars if she tried,

But the little girl was scared and her dreams just died.

The little girl soon began to lose her voice,

What a shame, what a shame! For she always had a choice,

She could merge the two worlds and choose to be,

For our world wasn’t so cruel after all, she could see.
