Dreamers
For did the bluebird never sing
Nor clouds fill the sky,
Then the caress of rain
Would never dance across my skin
And I would never know
The sweet song
The birds do sing for men.
A song carried along
By the wind
That carries along our dreams.
And when you're feeling broken,
Like a doll torn at the seams,
Remember life-long beauty
And try to live your dreams.
A raven 'tisn't born flying
Nor a colt prancing in the sun.
But only one thing can stop you,
And that's cause you're the stubborn one.
So when you're feeling lonely,
And there's nowhere else to go,
Reach up towards the Heavens
And remember that you know.
Your dreams are never out of reach,
You're just not wise enough to catch the stars.
Nor reach the glistening aura
Of Jupiter and Mars.
For failure is the time
Where you do not try again.
And mistakes only happen
When you do not learn from them.
