DREAM ON
Ben Rector
Do you ever get scared?
Do you ever get sad?
Do you forget the childhood dreams that you had?
Hoped it'd be better but things turned out bad and all went wrong
You don't have to climb mountains or walk on the moon
Fill up your heart like a great big balloon
If you can't sleep at night just remember this tune
Sing along
Dream on
Dream on
Even when you're afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on
Dream on
When the world says you're crazy just tell them they're wrong and dream on
When I was younger I played make believe
Now when I close my eyes I just fall asleep
If you live long enough life will make you believe that they're gone . . .

March to the beat of your own drum…who cares if you might be called “crazy”…. One of the pluses of aging, care less what others might say about you 😉👌🏻
