I had a dream...

Clocking in and clocking out
Slaved away the day
Not for your own satisfaction
Just for paltry pay

Look at where you ended
Down the road and feeling lost
The shadows they descended
And your soul it almost cost

You always were a dreamer
Never really waking up
Always a believer
But the dreams they all got stuck

Another day another dollar
Money in the bank
But no time to chase your dreams
And nothing in the tank

You just became a number
Not in someone’s little black book
You were saved from going under
Don’t forget the dreams it took

You got a chance to get away
Break free from the chain
Living one of many dreams
That surfaced in your head again

Seeing how the world is real
Not just a TV scene
Seeing just how people live
Survival is their dream

Now coming back with time and space
To dig into your head
Remember what you wanted
You can now make your own bed

Find those dreams and pull them out
Inspect them and decide
If desperation rears it’s head
You’ll cry and wish you’d tried

Pick a target put it up
Work towards its end
Push away the fears
Let your dreams become your friend
