Child Dreamer

When I was young I would dream
I'd dream that I was famous
I'd dream of my first kiss
I'd dream to be a star
I'd dream to travel far
I'd dream with no convictions
I'd dream with no restrictions
I'd dream of the greatest fun
I'd dream that to skip and run
When I was young I would dream
I'd dream of all great things beyond
I'd dream I had a magic wand
Now that I'm older I want to scream
That all these dreams aren't dead
Reach inside and look ahead
Dreams aren't just for children
and dreams they will come true
so look into your hearts, deep within
and dream as children do
