"My Dream"

Each day when I open my eyes.

On the right and left there is no dream.

A soft voice says look

Around me now there is nothing to see

I need that dream of mine to give some esteem.

When will that day come into my life.

I look here and there, no dream to be found.

I feel my hands are not here

My feet cannot move

I feel I am under water and I am bound.

Where is my dream it can’t be found

I look here and there

And still the dream is not around.

When will I open my eyes and be happy.

My dream will give me hope with pride.

I want to feel like a man.

I want a smile on my face.

I want to say to you I can provide.

Where is my dream it can’t be found.

I look here and there

And still the dream is not around.
