Dream (Spoken Word)

If you gotta dream, show me

Reveal it to the world

And own it

If you gotta passion,

Disown your inaction

And make a habit of climbing the steep hill of your goals,

Or else dissatisfaction will echo in your soul

 

Go after your dreams fearlessly,

You've got all the potential you need,

Just find the why for the motivation you lack,

Conjure the reasons why you've laid low and cut yourself slack,

Well, you can't hide behind excuses no more,

Because you're a dazzling star and you're too bright to hide behind confining bars

 

You think you're a nobody?

Too scared to show your true colors?

Hey, you better get out there on that red carpet and like a peacock flaunt all your magnificent beauty,

And not even for a moment doubt yourself

Or listen to the chickens cluck **** about you on the sidelines

You've got a dream

Stop hiding it under your bed

And make it into your reality

You ain't think life got magic,

But it's full of meaning

Once you awaken from your brain dead anxiety

Because you worry too much of what people think of you

Your heart will come alive, beating with all the colors of the rainbow and the music you love will revive you,

I speak from experience,

Stop letting your fears hold you back,

Because they are just lies

No one is gonna believe in your dream as much as you do,

Not until you accomplish what you dream of, when you get there then they'll believe you

What else have you got to live for

But your dream!

It's your purpose

And it's your responsibility

To make your dream a reality

Not until then will you be able to see

The magic that both surrounds us and lives inside of you and me.
