In my mind, I soar,
In reality, I walk.
In my dreams I am all powerful,
Anything I want to be.
But in real life,
I am nothing but a child.
A small child in a big world.
A complex world,
Full of things I "can't understand".
No one listens to me.
No one listens to us,
No one thinks
I can change anything.
That's why dream,
That's why we all dream
So I can be bigger
In this big world.
So I can fly.

This is to anyone who wants to be something more than they are, as sappy as it sounds. Dream big, my friends, dream big!
