Can I sell you a dream?
Words on paper.
Bright and clear.
Demons and dragons.
Heroes and fear.
I’ll fill it with hope,
With pain and fights.
I’ll fill it with intrigue
And the darkest of night’s.
I’ll take you to worlds
You didn’t know could exist.
I’ll keep you guessing,
End with a great twist.
You’ll tell everyone
"This is the next big thing"
It could change the world,
Oh the joy it could bring!
But it won’t.
Because I can’t make it happen.
I can’t bring myself to do it.
I don’t have the words,
The skills,
The imagination to make it real.
So instead,
Can I sell you a dream?

Can I sell you a dream?
Words on paper.
Bright and clear.
Demons and dragons.
Heroes and fear.
I’ll fill it with hope,
With pain and fights.
I’ll fill it with intrigue
And the darkest of night’s.
I’ll take you to worlds
You didn’t know could exist.
I’ll keep you guessing,
End with a great twist.
You’ll tell everyone
"This is the next big thing"
It could change the world,
Oh the joy it could bring!
But it won’t.
Because I can’t make it happen.
I can’t bring myself to do it.
I don’t have the words,
The skills,
The imagination to make it real.
So instead,
Can I sell you a dream?
