The Build Up To a Fallen Dream

My ASPIRATIONS were TOUCHING the sky!
NOTHING could stop the way this would FLY!
EVERYTHING was on track...or so it did seem-
but.... 
"It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

                  My VISION was FURTHER than the eye could see
                  Nothing...there was NOTHING that was going to STOP me!
                  Of ALL the crops of ideas.... "THIS WAS THE CREAM"-
                  but....
                  "It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

My PURPOSE had meaning on ROCK solid ground!
It was DESIGNED on the basis to be SAFE and sound!
NO better motive could there be NOR a theme-
but....
"It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

                   The DRIVE was INTENSE and driven to SUCCEED!
                   I COVERED all my bases-what MORE would I need?
                   It was TAKING OFF with a FULL head of steam-
                   but....
                   "It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"

My ASPIRATIONS, my VISIONS, my PURPOSE and my DRIVE-
ALL of these made me feel SO alive!!!
THIS WAS THE PINNACLE.... the ULTIMATE SUPREME....
alas....
"It Was The Build Up To A Fallen Dream!"
