Dreams
She was a little girl on a raft called Life
She sailed on an ocean called the World
Whenever the waves got rough,
The girl just sat and curled
She was a little girl lost in her dreams
Dreams of a flying boat
And when the waves got rough,
Into the sky it would float
She was a little girl lost in her dreams,
Dreams of a big boat
She dreamed of halls decked with gold
And fairy dust to keep the boat afloat
The little girl had grown into youth
Her raft had become bigger
Those dreams came less and less
And she dreamed them with less vigor
In the water, the World had shown her things
College, boys, and school
She would sometimes think of her dreams
And thought those were thoughts of a fool
She was a youth losing her dreams,
She was now looking for some land
She now thought of the waves that surrounded her
Help she would demand
The youth had become a woman
She had no dreams at all -
All she did was worry,
Worried that her boat might fall
The little girl is now a woman
Her raft is now a boat
But all she did was worry
About keeping the boat afloat
She was once a little girl lost in her dreams
She was a once a youth losing her dreams
She is now a woman, who had lost her dreams
She would be gone, along with her dreams
And her child would find those dreams again
