I love to write songs. Tonight I was flipping through the Facebook pictures and posts of one of my friends whose parents recently separated and I was inspired to write this song:
Please Don't Stop Dreaming
Please Don't Stop Dreaming
You want to make your own dreams
Make them turn out like they should
You hope your plan works
But you don’t really know just what you’ll do, when it comes down to you
And you can’t believe that all you dreams will crash just
like they did for them
To admit failure would be to fall so-oh-oh far
So you keep trying and retrying
Keep grinning to keep from crying all those tears connected
to all those fears
You keep your head up
Your hands reaching for the stars
Eyes closed to hide the scars
Yeah, you keep getting your heart hurt
But you keep drea---ming
Mom and Dad could not make it
They just couldn’t make it work
You pray that you can take it
And become the best there ever were
It doesn’t take but a word to set your world to shambles
But even a word, can’t steal your hope
So you keep trying and retrying
Keep grinning to keep from crying all those tears connected
to all those fears
You keep your head up
Your hands reaching for the stars
Eyes closed to hide the scars
Yeah, you keep getting your heart hurt
But you keep drea---ming
Finding the things that impress you
The things that make you stronger than before
Reaching for the courage
To stand and hold the hand of someone fragile just like you
In this world you can’t be blameless
But at least you can be free
Its the freedom to do the right thing
The freedom to do what you’ve always dreamed
Its the beauty-of-the-night thing
Mystery and hope combined in two
And you pray you’ll follow through
That there’ll be peace and joy for two
So you keep trying and retrying
Keep grinning to keep from crying all those tears connected
to all those fears
You keep your head up
Your hands reaching for the stars
Eyes closed to hide the scars
Yeah, you keep getting your heart hurt
But you keep drea---ming
Just keep drea---ming
Please don’t stop drea---ming
