Once upon a time
I dared to dream.
Once upon a time
There was no 'I' in 'Team'.

I'm lost on stormy seas
No marks to guide my path
I kept my goals in sight
Once upon a time

I feel so cold,
So all alone
No one to trust
No one to care for.

Just let the leaves grow brown and die
Winter's coming; it's cold all too soon.

Just let me drown so I can breathe
Let me fall so I can fly.
I am sinking ever higher

I'm a hero led astray
I'm a villain led to light
I fall face-first to darkness
But then I see the light...

I'm not afraid to dream
To soar amongst the stars.
Not afraid to dream
No longer behind bars.

Not afraid to dream
To cast aside your cares.
Not afraid to dream
To answer my own prayers

Not afraid to dream
Break free of binding bonds.
I'm soaring ever free
And I'm not afraid
To dream.
This poem was inspired by a band piece I heard performed at a school concert. It wasn't the music itself, I'll have to admit. Mostly the title (Not Afraid to Dream) and the program notes.

So, anyhow, I followed my inspiration and wrote this up. I have the vocal part all fine and dandy; I just have to get a couple guitar riffs going and I'm set. n_n
