Look to your dream...

Look to your dream; reach out and touch the skies
Let nothing fight your drive to carry on
Don’t ever let your spirit drown or die
So will you walk ahead; you must be strong
In every child there is a little light
So leave the darkest nights and come away
The sun will light our souls, and make them bright
We will come through, we’ll make a better day
And when it’s tough remember, say a prayer
Then you will never walk your path alone
And in your heart, know always, someone’s there
To help you grow and come into your own
So shine dear child, you are a shining star
So shine dear child, and cast your light afar

Very nice :)

Really touching stuff..
Very well worded and a beautiful example of conciseness and clarity.
Not even the most khadoos editor can do much snipping over here.
Well done...

The dream is we here to capture it...in the deepest dark we find a flame that we seek to hold on our dreams
