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.
