Dreams

Everybody has a dream
We keep it alive at night
But doubt it in light
Do we only become optimistic when lights are dim?

Everybody has a dream
From a distance we fight
On the battle field we lose might
Is it only when we are far do we become strong?

Everybody has a dream
On leaflets we write
On desk we fail to rewrite
Do we forget to take our writing sticks along?

Everybody has a dream
In the mind's eye we see it fly like a kite
On the world's stage we lose sight
Do we only see when it is fictitious like a film?
