I had dreamt Life would be all sweet and colourful A little challenge here, a little grief there They keep the journey real and meaningful I had prepared to be strong Rise above all hurdles Ignore all hassles Who knows what happened to that dream? 'Cos it's farther than it seems So far I can't catch a glimpse I've never really been happy Not as I dreamt I've had more grief than joy Not what I saw I've not attained all I'd imagined Not as I thought All I desire is a life so simple Maybe not as simple as it sounds All I have is not as I dreamt All I am is not as I thought Now, I'm dreaming I might deserve Nothing more than I am Only I've got more than I deserve Who knows what happened to my dreams? I wonder where our dreams go

Where Do Our Dreams Go?
I had dreamt Life would be all sweet and colourful A little challenge here, a little grief there They keep the journey real and meaningful I had prepared to be strong Rise above all hurdles Ignore all hassles Who knows what happened to that dream? 'Cos it's farther than it seems So far I can't catch a glimpse I've never really been happy Not as I dreamt I've had more grief than joy Not what I saw I've not attained all I'd imagined Not as I thought All I desire is a life so simple Maybe not as simple as it sounds All I have is not as I dreamt All I am is not as I thought Now, I'm dreaming I might deserve Nothing more than I am Only I've got more than I deserve Who knows what happened to my dreams? I wonder where our dreams go
