Dreams are not only for kids


Go to sleep, close your eyesAnd dream of broken dreamsThat tore their dreams into realityNo one knows the pain that I have endured
Tears roll down my face, they shine so brightRealizing and waking up to what I call a realityDream of growing in life And waking just before I’m able to make it come true
Moonlight shining off my tearsAs I cry my worst fearsTonight when I start to cryYou’ll Whisper the dreamer's lullaby:
"Shus baby, you’re almost thereYour dream is right at arms length don’t give up nowYour family love you, your friends support youSleep tight with a motivation ‘cause that’s all you need"
"Rockabye baby, alive and hopeful You didn’t know life would be this hardTime to end the pain you hid so wellAnd up you awaketo realize its all possible"
