Stay Dreaming


once upon a time 

there waS a boy wiTh a dreAm 

who wanted to climb 

to be leader of a team 

once upon a time

there was a jollY young boy 

who played at school playgrounDs 

and had all of the toys 

once upon a time 

theRe was a mothEr and son

with A father who loved theM 

yet afraId of how he had become  

once upon a time 

there was a man with a dream 

to provide for his family 

like they did before his teeNs

once upon a time 

the man dropped the ball 

no more trying or workinG

no more nothing at all

once upon a time 

a man had a blank expression

no signs of happiness 

just signs of depression

once upon a time 

a man lost his inner self

never came on track again 

became a fly on a shelf

once upon a time

there was the end of the team

all because of a man

who gave up on his dream 

 

 

(SPELL OUT ALL CAPITAL LETTERS)
