Dreams Cost Too Much
Location
It all began when my dad killed my fish,
when I cried and said a new CD was my only wish
I was only three when he brought one home
And it only took me 2 days to learn every song
But what do you do when your dream costs too much?
When I was 7 I begged and pleaded
That taking piano lessons was all that I needed
I played every key both the black and white
That's when I knew that music was my life
But what do you do when your dream costs too much?
I got older and moved on to new things
Instead of piano I learned to play strings
My fingers on the viola making a majestic sound
For almost 7 years I couldn't put it down
But what do you do when your dream costs too much?
Later I found a guitar
I found out that picking wasn't too hard
Of the instruments I knew it became my favorite of the three
I loved the feeling of strumming with that guitar on my knee
But what do you do when your dream costs too much?
Now its time to make decisions and the only thing I know
Is that music is my passion and this I want to show
See the problem isn't grades or matters of acceptance
The problem is that my dream requires there to be money present
But what do you do when dreams costs too much?
I've carried my dream through 17 years
And they all said that good grades would get me there
And everyone is asking for my plan
And I know what I want to do but I don't know if I can
What do you do when dreams cost too much?
So I'll sit and I'll pray
And those instruments I will pray
Because even if my dream is costly
There is no place I'd rather be
