A Dreamer's Beat

In blue jeans and bare feet Dancing to a dreamer’s beat A wild spirit soaring free Believing in something no one else can see. One step to the left Then slide to the right Chances aren’t written in black and white Boldly cruising down life’s highway Driving courage come what may Conquering each hill with a sense of pride Searching for that place where destiny can’t hide. Two kicks to the front Then turn around You can’t see your dreams by looking down Working hard for that pot of gold Playing a hand that you just can’t fold It’s the simple things you learn to love The quiet song of a Morning Dove. Shimmy to the left Then shimmy to the right The warmth of a smile will be your guiding light Seasons come and seasons go But the magic of life continues to grow The road less traveled features the unknown With every twist and turn carved in stone. Two steps forward And one step back Don’t let your dreams fall through a crack. In blue jeans and bare feet Dancing to a dreamer’s beat Like an Eagle soaring free Believing in something no one else can see.
