This blank page staring back at me
Represents everything that I could be
Just follow my dreams, it’s that easy.
Or at least that’s what momma always told me.
Can I be anything I wanna be?
Can I roam these lands, with all the beauties to see?
Can I jump real high and touch the stars?
Can I be someone new and erase these scars?
I want to live my life to inspire and teach
That our biggest dreams are never out of reach
But how can I do that when I won’t reach for the stars
How can I do that when I’m held back by these scars
I can’t progress if I’m always looking back
And I can’t see the future if my world goes black
I need to try, to move on from my past
Or these dreams of mine, they won’t last
They’ll shrivel up and fly away
Not a care in the world of what I have to say.
I dream, I dream, I dream so hard
And with my last little confidence shard
I will stand up and reach for my dreams
I will swim the farthest ocean, fly against the jet streams
I will do what it takes to become what I yearn for
Because I’m incomplete if I don’t step through the open the door.
