Wake Up
in the womb, a life unborn
unlimited potential
not yet tanted by the hate of this world.
a simply blissful existence,
halfway between life and death
all things are possible
limitations don't exist
Once in the world will he or she be
prosecuted for reasons not understood,
with the verdict guilty already in place
Will it, he, her, them be given a chance.
Or will their dreams be crushed even before they start,
Dream big, go far
told to them from the time of forever.
Only to be crushed by the truth of humanilty.
Dream big, go far
Wake up and go no more.
Reality sets in, life is too short
there's not enough time.
Reality set in so they dream no more.
