I once had dreams of faraway places Pedestals of riches and fame Cliche mansions and women abroad Knowing the ins and outs of the game The cars were sublime and I, Drunk with the light of the lime Had no worries or any shame For the world that I ran, was ran by a man who owned an untouchable name I once saw myself a god The commander of the land Leader of the people Laws written by my hand A hero of the world With roaring trumpets vast And if I would be the one I'd surely be the last But in the end when A dream is just a dream You wake yourself and realize You still paddle realities stream I once, he once, she once, they once All had dreams like I Imagination gets you to the edge Persistence lets you fly.
