I Once Was a Dreamer
I once was a dreamer
Meaning i once was young
Feeling like the world was in
the palm of my hands
Nothing could ruin my well
thought out plans
I planned to be rich and
have a beautiful wife
Oh how i loved this thing
called life
Then i got to that age where i
started to realise that beauty
is not all that the world shows
See the eye sees what the
brain knows
I did not know the evil this
world beholds
So i started seeing the evil in
peoples souls
Studied hard and got into a
good school
Expected my peers to be
passionate, influential,
outspoken great thinkers
Oh how i was played the fool
Aweful lectures, long hours,
boring people but it was too
late, the seeds were already
laid
So i started to regret the first
big disicion ive ever made
Unfortunately im not any
jollier but i decided to suck it
up
Cant throw a temper tantrum
if i cant drink from a silver cup
Although experience has
thought me not to follow
something i dread
I have to be patient & have
hope, for hope is the reason
we get out of bed
Unrealisticly hopeful dispite
being a pessimist, am i insane
Well we humans were built to
endure agonising pain
On the cycle goes and
another child is born
My question is how do you
expect them to prosper when
the world has always left you
torn
