Hopes and Dreams

Have you found comfort yet?
No, I find none around me.
Then I trust you have with riches met?
Still sir, it eludes me.

Tis no use searching,
my days are better off dreaming.
At least in my dreams I can become anything
and have everything.

Yes, I can become wealthy beyond measure
with kids and a wife breathtakingly perfect.
But sadly, I am only a dreamer
and my dreams and reality have never met.

Oh! dear lad, dreams do become reality
and every reality begins with a dream.
Have the courage to pursue them
and they'll soon get tired of running.

Your dreams are your wings my boy!
Hold fast to them
For if they die,
You cannot fly
