A Dream, a Hope, a Glory Within All of Us

What is it when we hold ourselves back?
What is it when we recoil from the line?

What is it deep within us that makes us feel unjustified?
Why do we hesitate when it counts?
Why do we fall when we know we can fly?

The doubt eats away the confidence
The fear of out-stepping our place in time

Why do we walk when we can run?
Why do we turn our truth into lies?

A dream, a hope, a glory within all of us

Don't ever let them die.
