Yes, I have dreams and they are BIG.

I've had them since I was a kid.

Dreams of making it in this world fill my head every day.

Do well in school is what they always say.

Dreams of making the ones I love most proud,

Imagine me giving a thank-you speech in front of a crowd.

Dreams of going to heaven where all is well,

The problem is this will not happen if I fail.

So, yes, I have dreams in my life,

But they are not yet real, like the cutting of a knife.

I know life isn't easy, I really do.

But who are you to tell me I can't make it, too.

I will follow my dreams and make it like you,

So dream big and your dreams will come true!
