Dream Big
DREAM BIG
I feel lucky to have dreams
Not the dreams in your sleep
The dreams of things hoped for
Those happy wishes we all keep
Dreams can make you happy
And fill your heart with delight
In hopes they will all come true
Who knows maybe they might
There are some folks who think
I’m just dreaming my life away
But with all the joy in my heart
Well it certainly must be okay
Dreaming is a gift we’re given
That’s stored in each one’s mind
A form of imagination created
From one individual at a time
It triggers your energy level
That makes you want to dance
And you’ll hum a merry tune
While others seem to glance
Even if those dreams I have
Don’t really ever come to pass
At least I know my journey in life
Was filled with smiles and laughs
Maybe that’s what was meant
In those words we used to sing
About rowing your boat gently
And merrily down the stream
Then our journeys of existence
Should be gently paced it seems
With merriment along the way
That’s why life is but a dream
So I’ll just keep on dreaming big
And always have my hopes high
To carry happiness all around me
Until the day when I actually die
And who really knows for sure
Some dreams just may come true
So I bet you have a little dreaming
That you've been wanting to do too
