Nothing Comes To a Sleeper But a Dream
Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream
I feel asleep
Not once but twice
Sometimes I feel I slept on my life
I always knew I was great
But the world didn't see it
Because they would hate
Instead of congratulate
Couldn't tell the real from the fake
People change
Only thing that don't change is my name
It remains the same it holds power
I get better by myself every hour
I wake up with such a beam
Nothing ever comes to a sleeper but a dream
Nothing comes to a sleeper
But a dream
Don't let anyone tell you anything
That will not allow you to grow
Don't get slept on yourself anymore
Stop sleeping
Turn your dreams into a reality
Stop dreaming
About where you could be
Or where you should be
Keep racing
With your dreams keep facing
Stop giving
Limitations
Limitations to society
Who breaks us up
Like a variety
A variety of the great
Who they never really appreciate
But we create
Where we were destined to be
And take it
With our problems we face it
With our dreams chase it
Don't sleep
Too much sleeping will make you weak
So don't rest until you reach the top
And when you reach it
Don't you ever stop
Nothing comes to a sleeper
But a dream
Don't let anyone tell you anything
That will not allow you to grow
Don't get slept on yourself anymore
(Repeat until the chorus fades )
