GOD'S DREAMER

Standing high upon the stage; a star in every sense

The audience is cheering; their applause so intense

But then I wake and see things are not as they seem

Why has my star risen so high only in my dreams?

　

College graduation is finally here as I walk the stage

Got the sheepskin finally and I’m ready to turn the page

But just as I grasp that diploma my eyes open wide

I awake from my sleep; once again my dreams have lied

　

The surgery is completed and the patient still holds to life

Thanks to the talents of my hands with the scalpel knife

The celebration is just starting as from my sleep I awake

Only to find that my success was only a dreamer’s stake

　

Love is all around me; it has found it’s way to my door

A beautiful woman in my arms; the girl I so adore

But her kiss is so fleeting as for her arms I long

As I wake and find only a dream; love has gone

　

Surely life has a purpose for me; there is so much I must do

Why is dream’s reality seemingly reserved for the very few?

I am willing to do my part and shoulder the heavy load

Why will my dreams not let me find a way on reality’s road?

In my dreams I am on top of the world for all to see

In my dreams I am being all that I can be

Yet no matter how hard I try to make it come through

Nothing comes of any of it; my dreams never come true

　

Maybe God has a plan which he does not think I need

Maybe there is a life plan in which I will succeed

If there is then I must know it so I can find my place

So I can let go of dreams and put reality in their place

　

Nothing seems forthcoming; there’s no message from on High

Life just keeps moving forward slowly passing me on by

But wait! It’s becoming more apparent as I struggle to try to see

The one thing that God’s wants most is for me to just be me!

　

　

I can hope and pray that the dreams will ever last

I can struggle and reach for things outside of my grasp

Or I can choose from many things; each one a life delight

Knowing anything that I can do is important in God’s sight
