In a world that doesn’t care less
About a dreamers dream
I now sit down and confess
Why there’s sadness in my eyes gleam
Dreams don’t expire
That’s what I once thought
But the fuel for their fire
I can’t find more of that what I sought
I found limitations
Where I once saw limitless
I now see hesitations
As I look into the abyss
Albeit I am not a cynic
Although I am still good
After years of being true, I now mimic
A smile that doesn’t shine as it should
Much is lost
More is won
Measurable is the cost
Miles, I traveled whereupon
I yet find beauty
And it does resonate
But more in the domain of duty
Then from my heart from which I navigate
My gilded compass
No longer points north
Where I once fought for all of us
Now I can barely tread forth
Maybe I am just lost
Maybe I have no aim
Maybe I overlooked the cost
Maybe I overreached with no claim
A dreamers dream
Once filled with hope
Now searches to redeem
Walking the tightrope
Give me strength
Give me hope
Give me hearts length
Give me the means to cope
So I may rise again
And show the world my dream
That all is not in vain
This is the time to redeem
I will find the truth
I will rekindle the flame
And this moment will sooth
When I look back at what I overcame
