Dream (featuring Antonia Jenae')

lyrics

This is a song about persistence in the face of adversity. This is a song about never giving up, about holding on to your dream. ‘Cause you never ever ever know.

She had just one dime in her pocket, but in her heart she had forever.
Walking through the neighborhood mind full of dreams, eager to take in the world all around her. Looking for refreshment, relief from the hot sun. On the pavement baking, making friends with passers-by with a wide-eyed smile, and a friendly wave. She knew that this was living.

But she didn't know about the neighborhood hard knocks who would stop and take the time that she held on to. A toll to pass the block. This was madness. A sadness passed her heart, as she let it go, and let go of her dime, and let go of her smile, and let go of her savings. But saved more than two nickels could ever buy. So she let it go, but loves gonna find her again ‘cause they could never take her dream.

When you feel down better look up. Never know when you'll change your luck. Never know, never know.

They had just one wish and a kiss is what they would seek. They would speak before the dance ‘cause he had taken the chance to ask for her company for this magical evening. Believing she was the one for him, he bought flowers and candy showers. And she showed appreciation. This was the stuff that dreams are made of, and dreams can last a lifetime.

Now in a few months they would part, leaving behind high school memories, and high school laughterm, and high school ways in search of higher learning. Looking for the great beyond. But what was beyond what they knew now to be? This last dance, this last glance. What could be beyond what is so pure? They could only guess as they danced deep inside this dream.


When you feel down better look up. Never know when you'll change your luck. Never know, never know.

He sat with pen and paper in hand at a desk in the dark, thinking he could change the world with his ink. He had come to think that the world only needed one word to change the path, to make a difference with something in different. In a time of time of apathy he wanted something good, something wonderful, something real. A humanity to believe in.

In the world of imitation, gentrification, adulation with material, the ethereal was never pondered so he wondered if any of all of what he had installed would grasp the minds, would grasp the hearts of those that surrounded him, those that found in him a person who cared, a person who shared. A person that held onto his dream.

When you feel down better look up. Never know when you'll change your luck. Never know, never know.
