I dreamt of a man who had all money could buy
A beautiful wife Kids without strife An enviable life But alone in the dark his soul out did cry It cried out for those things beyond money alone It cried out for dreams It cried for divine teams Is this world all that it seems? Toward tears such as these are so many men prone What is to be done when there are responsibilities to be had Cant just up and quit Nor from home split With dreams of a better fit The hardest to leave is the progeny of one's lass and lad And so many find themselves in dilemma's like this Soul searching is easy With no home nor family No responsibilty Hence the tear bestween desire and past choice which leads to crisis Providing for one's family in the things they want Tis no easy task For help some must ask Or they put on a false mask And turn their backs on dreams that for their life shall always taunt These dreams come back in force that is full Given some time The roots grow deep, and fine To break later is no crime Even if for 30 years, one must take care of business in lull So for those who have dreams of something someday Have patience Listen to your voice of conscience It provides luminessence This path will in the end pay We all get what we want If our posture is staunt Our small successes we dont flaunt Just keep your head down Work and toil without reknown Ley your work stack high from the ground If expectations are low And your final success you know The world will read what you sow
