His Dream

Dedicated to Pastor Jimmy Bachelor, may his faith comfort, protect, and guide them His dream is to find a place, of comfort, for the child Off the streets where they roam, innocence being robbed and defiled His dream is to take a stand To save a generation, yet to be So biased people have become, what's underneath, they do not see His dream is to strip away, the shield, that they wear To find potential locked inside, to reach the stars, if they dare His dream is to lead by example, challenging, each one to be bold Educate and teach responsibility, to watch, the person inside unfold His dream it to heal the hurt, inflicted on our innocent babies Just a chance to rise above, the you can't do and maybe's His dream should be reality, to a world that shuts them out A cold and drab existence awaits that fills them each with doubt His dream can become yours, if we could just unite as one If not, someday we'll pay the price in a country that, they run His dream is for, them to dream so that, they will always know, that, they can depend on adults and with that, they will grow
