My Dreams

.
When I was a kid, I used to dream
Of a far off land, a very special place
Where thereâ??ll be no hatred or scorn
And lifeâ??s pain, no one will ever face.
I used to dream of pretty scenes
Of perfect land for happiness
I used to think it will come true
For all the anger, hurt and sloppiness.
I was a kid, then, didn\'t realize.
That life is more than just a dream.
Didnâ??t know how hard it was
To make life out of a dream
I always thought it will be okay
That everything will be all right.
I didnâ??t know how wrong I was
Darkness canâ??t easily be converted to light.
But today, as I sit here
My heart aching with pain
I just realize how wrong I was
How hard to turn loss to gain
How hard to go, how hard to feel
How hard not to be numb
And of course, I realize, on my part
I was really dumb
But then, I can never let go
Of the precious dreams Iâ??ve kept so long|_I canâ??t even think of that
I canâ??t let go even when Iâ??m so wrong.
My dreams have been shattered
Everything has been destroyed
But I wonâ??t ever give up
So hard that Iâ??ve tried
I still dream of that far off place
Of that land filled with cheer
And I still believe that it will be true one day
That the land will be here
Here in this world
Making lives beautiful.
My dreams will come true one day
And make this world cheerful.
