The Strength To Dream

Lately I feel I'm going under,

And sometimes I don't want to see tomorrow.

All I need is to hold the dream, just to touch the

dream,

Can it ever happen?

Oh, your true sincerity, your kindness, means so much

to me;

But sometimes it feels like nothing is real

except this pain and dark uncertainty.

Lately I've been feeling more like giving it all

away;

There's been a black cloud over me

and now I feel the rain.

My dreams never seem to lead me to the open road;

And cracks have slowly begun to show in the bridge

from here to my only goal.

In the ebb of my mind I try to climb the tower of

strength

What can fill this cold empty void of what I fear will

never be?

I find that I follow pathways that lead me nowhere.

The truth is I am chained to my ideals, and I can't

change it;

But something in me yearns to win;

I know real love is there to find us.

If I ever stop believing I'll always find the strength

to dream.

But for now depression smiles down upon me;

Oh, what I would give to know you.
