House of Broken Dreams

In the house of broken dreams
Window panes are made of tears
And the paper on the wall
Draws the picture of my fears

It's a never place to be
Broken pieces line the floor
The hopes that now once were
Turn to mist forever more.

Time to leave those dreams so cherished
In old visions far behind
To  bravely seek the new, the real
And healthy faith in what I'll find

Let go, let God, move on
Ahead toward what as yet may be
And with the passing old to new
Build a house called Me.

I know the pain of living in such a house. Leaving is the only solution to creating new dreams...so keep your faith in God and pray. He's listening.
