Dreams
I too had my life built on dreams
It was all beautiful as could be seen
Hope was there too by my side
But all washed away, with the high tide
Dreams are dreams and not to be
Dreams are dreams for us not to keep
They are not to us given
Nor a gift from heaven
They work like magic, they work like dope
They make life more tragic, giving us false hope
Hang on to them, you should not
For life has that me taught
Your past and present is all you got
Future is not all, that is sought
Tomorrow I have yet not seen
But pray that I can say, that with it I had been
It will all be fine, that I know
But only if my past, in my future, can I sow
