The Place Where Dreams Go To Die

I know of a place
it's not very far
just knowing it's there makes me cry

There's a road going in
so heavily traveled
it's the place where dreams go to die

Too many people
have visited there
that graveyard of ideas and hopes

Their last respects paid
they leave broken hearted
and bound by invisible ropes

For they had grown weary
of deep disappointments
and losing the joy they once knew

And battered and bruised
they silently wept
believing their dreams won't come true

The graves are unkempt there
grown over with weeds
and the wreckage of lives gone to waste

What drove those who go
to that sad destination
has such a familiar taste

I wish I had never
found my way here
I've been down this road once or twice

In searching for peace
I've let go of dreams
and that is a costly price

So take it from me
Turn back while you can
You’ve no further need to ask why

Live your life to the full
And never return
To the place where dreams go to die

Staying The Course
by Curtis Johnson

In my personal pursuit of people,                                                        and the humble places of my past;

In my personal persuasion,                                                            that my future has links to my past;

In my personal and prayerful plan,                                                 that points me toward my destiny;

In my personal practice of principles,                                             that empower me for God’s purpose;

In my pleasant and personal gains,                                                   or in my unpleasant and personal pains;

May I be ever guided in paths of purity and purpose;
stay clear of roads crooked and heavily traveled;

seek challenges beyond those of least resistance;
and never stray from paths God designed for me.
