Little Dreamer
Oh, little dreamer,
Your eyes full of stars
And heart of wishes
While you rest
Do the constellations
Act out your wildest imaginations
Pure wishes of tenderness and warmth
Of trust and love
From the arms of strangers
Little dreamer,
Is it something you lack?
Are your stars not enough?
When you see the others, do the stars spill from your eyes with your tears?
Is there something more than your galaxy?
Do they have stars brighter than yours
Under the moonlight, do you escape to worlds only you know?
How is the sky there?
Is it just like yours?
Little dreamer,
Are you alone at the edge of your universe?
Do you sit on that edge and think, ‘What is my worth?’
From your dreams, can you hear
The voices that cherish you
Or those that hold you dear?
How they sing of love,
Of loving you
And all that you are
Little dreamer,
When you sleep
Do you see all that they are?
Do you think the fabrications of your imagination that,
If they were real that
They’d love you the same?
Do you think you need someone to love you
Someone to give you the desires of their heart?
A significant other, someone to take your stars, wishes, and smother
Oh, little dreamer,
The love you seek is the one you already own
You love yourself and that’s all you need to know
