You go to sleep at night, and wake up in a dream.
A world so full of fantasy, nothing is as it seems.
A world that’s full of castles that reach up to the sky.
Where eagles rule the air, as clouds roll quickly by;
Mermaids upon the rocks as waves roll swiftly in.
Catching rays of sunshine, hair blowing in the wind;
It’s peaceful in this world, nothing out there to fear.
Nothing spreads around, except happiness and cheer;
The world of a child, is so innocent and sweet,
The heart spreads great love, with every single beat;
As long as we have dreams, we also will have hope.
So we are not caught hanging, off the end of a rope;
The castle disappears, the storm clouds roll away.
Mermaids swim out to sea; they’ll come back another day;
The eagle fly’s away, the waves roll slowly back.
This fantasy you have is what adults seem to lack;
Hold on to your fantasies, even think of some more.
So when you get older, you can find that peaceful shore.

that was so sweet. i only wish that we would all hang on to those childhood dreams. it's when we begin to let go of our imagination and faith that we begin to find those adult troubles. the world would be a better place if we would all just take time to return to those childlike fantasies every once in a while.
