Dreamers
Today, like every other day
is odd but beautiful in its own way
This day
I wake up with something new to say
something new and something strange
something I want to get but feel its out of range
something higher than every other person
something that could only be a blessing
something many find hard to understand
something that can make us outcasts in our own land
We have dreams
everyday they warm us up like sun beams
we know they're more than just imaginations at night
what we feel and see will fill night crawlers with fright
They'll turn against us
throw us down and they wont even think about it, they wont even pause
They'll push us away, frame us and lock us up
they'll try stopping us because we're destined for the top
Our time will surely come
and our time will feel like the end for some
for we are dreamers
we are stronger than they are, we are achievers
we see what they don't
and hear what they won't
we dream, we strive we achieve
and when they realize their mistakes and return, we'll forgive
for what good is it to be at the top
if you can't pull those who are down up
we get up not just for the benefit of self
for we are all one and are each a modern day Joseph
