Bigger Dreams:

Im just a dogwood petal
That grows on a tree,
Right now I'm just a flower
But it's not up to me.

Cause in a day or two
The wind is sure to blow,
And for some of us petals
It's the perfect time to go.

Hold it right there Mr. Wind
For my hands are small,
And if you keep it up
I might just slip and fall.

One petal after the next
Keep falling from the tree,
It really doesn't take that much
Just the right amount of breeze.

Right now I'm just a flower
I have others joined to me,
But as some of us petals
Begin to fall from the tree.

I am now not a flower
Cause it is just me,
Our purpose in life is over
So it's time to break free.

For I have better plans
And way Bigger Dreams,
Than hanging out all day
Up on this dogwood tree.

Because I don't have the time
To sit and.wait my turn,
Waiting on the wind to come
So I can crash and burn.

So mind your own business
Who asked for your advice,
And don't you try and tell me
Just how to live my life.

Soon I will have to go
So goodbye ole Mighty Tree,
Thanks for believing in me
And teaching me to dream.
