I once had a dream I could fly.

Soaring above the fields of green that swayed with the wind.

Never did I touch the sky, never did I gaze the clouds above.

In my dreams I was afraid.

Never strong enough to ascend.

 

There were days I couldn't speak.

My voice was obscure, my words were fragmented.

No means to express myself.

I wanted to cry out, to shout amongst the masses.

Never strong enough to shine.

 

There were days when I clung onto hope, tears rolled down my cheeks.

Longing for absolution from my own mind

Searching for answers to a question I never knew.

I wanted to break free.

Never strong enough to run.

 

There was a day I met you.  

Never sure of what would come of it.

My friend I saw something in you I'd seen in no one else

You had lost your heart.

Yet your smile never dimmed.

 

My friend, we use to sit in the light of the moon.

Speaking of life and its mysteries.

To be understood, was a feeling I had come to grasp with you.

It was hard for me to be truthful, to trust someone else.

Yet you always waited till the day I would

 

My friend, you've taught me so much

You said the world will hit you at every chance it gets

We can survive, or we can live.

To fight, to triumph, was something I could never begin to understand.

Yet you never once gave up on me.

 

My friend, I could never repay what you have given.

The time I have is all that I offer, but could never be enough.

I learned that to love is to put yourself aside.

It’s dangerous, you can be broken to pieces.

Yet every piece can be made into something new.

 

I once had a dream I could fly.

Soaring high above the fields of green that swayed with the wind.

In my dreams I was afraid.

Never strong enough to ascend.

You gave me the courage to touch the sky.
