Dream Big

Remember how by dreaming you defined your future self

Yeah, all those dreams you’ve hidden in a closet on a shelf

You listened to your critics, built a wall that’s ten feet tall

But often YOU’RE the critic who will build the highest wall

Though walls may offer safety, isn’t risk what life’s about

They MAY protect what’s inside but they’re keeping good things out

So never trust your critics, though they’re with us every day

That pebble in your shoe until your dreams just fade away

See, everybody stumbles, and yes, everybody falls

Your doubts are just the mortar in the creases of your walls

Your dream can be demanding as it’s forcing you to strive

A dream can go on living for as long as you’re alive

At forty I began to fly, but wanted so much more

I added my “commercial” by the age of forty four

Remember all you doubters, though some obstacles you’ve sown

A dream requires a dreamer, they don’t happen on their own
