To dream a dream

To dream a dream

Is to dare to fly

To want to feel the joy

Of that enlivening sense

Of life opening its arms to us

Revealing the majesty and mystery

Of wonders we both sense

And dream of

There is the killing force

That tries to tell us hope is dead

That all of these dreams

Are only wild imagining

Do not listen to the judge

He may be invested

In cutting off the rushing flow

Of your life’s blood

Keep your heart pumping

There is joy in dancing and jumping

We do not have to be pinned down

When all we wish for is to fly

Never even forget too

There is still a reason to be glad

Even after all of our sadness

Seems almost

To have drowned us
