This Dream

Some people never let their dreams leave the pillow
Never gain the courage to give their dream a go
Never give that dream a chance
They lift their head never giving it another glance
Return to their dreams only when they sleep
Too afraid to take that faithful leap
Too afraid that they may not succeed
When a little hope is all they really need
And the words "what if" are constantly in their thoughts
Because they left their dream on the pillow to rot
They never gave it the water it needed to grow
So if their dream could have made it they will never know
Because their opportunity has come and fled
But they never took their dream out of bed
They never took it out in the light
Never gave their dream a fight
Never even gave their dream a try
And that's something they'll take with them when they die
Never knowing what their dream could have been
Because they never let their dream begin
They never let their dream sprout
Because they were too filled with doubt
A dream is what happens in your unconscious mind
But if you give your dream a chance you'd be surprised what you'd find
This dream can be anything you want it to be
This dream can even become your reality
But if you just keep your dream in bed
Then that dream is nothing more than dead
