Set my own dreams aside
Built a living on hard work
so far from dreams that died.
Dream about dreams cast aside
Wake up in a cold sweat, longing
so far from dreams that died.
Dreams didn’t buy diapers
food in the belly, roof over head,
so far from dreams that died.
Now I lift up my own kids
Proud of the adults they’ve become
They planted their own dreams
in the field where my dreams died.
