If your dreams…

 

If your dreams are fluttering in the wind,

Which one will you save?

The one that makes you a king or

the one that beggars you?

 

If your dreams are flickering in the light,

Which one will you save?

The one that heartens you or

The one that causes you to fade?

 

If your dreams are drifting in a stream,

Which one will you save?

The one that causes you to fly high or

The one that ties you to the ground?

 

If your dreams are on fire,

Which one will you save?

The one that frees you to love or

The one that locks you in loneliness

But you must persist…

 

You’ll be warned,

You may be ordered,

But you must persist.

Otherwise they’ll

Trap you with

your fears.

 

You’ll be warned,

You may be ordered,

But you must persist.

Otherwise they’ll

Confound you with

their words.

 

You’ll be warned,

You may be ordered,

But you must persist.

Otherwise they’ll

rob you of

what’s yours.

 

You’ll be warned,

You may be ordered,

But you must persist.

Otherwise they’ll

Teach you to fear your

neighbour

 

You’ll be warned,

You may be ordered,

But you must persist.

Otherwise they’ll

Teach you to doubt yourself

Rather than distrust them.
