Some people search forever
For a truth they'll never find
Buried just too deep
And lost in the sands of time
Some people learn their lessons
Some others really should
But sometimes life is cold
And I wondered if they could
I dream a dream
A tale of envy
As old as the mountain side
I dream a dream
A world unending
Rushing with the ocean tide
I dream a dream
So unforgetting
So that it won't be gone
I dream a dream
Where I'm escaping
Leaving behind it all
Some people never see it
And then it's truly gone
If only they had known
What they'd needed all along
But there are things you can't take back
Words you think are left unsaid
I pray that you will listen
So that you might understand
I dream a dream
A tale of envy
As old as the mountain side
I dream a dream
A world unending
Rushing with the ocean tide
I dream a dream
So unforgetting
So that it won't be gone
I dream a dream
Where I'm escaping
Leaving behind it all
Time has not forgotten
In the end we all have to fall
To pay the price of the living
There's no way to escape it all
In the end was it truly worth it
That power in your veins
Was the lonliness your calling
Or were you a child without your name?

Very creative and flows so lyrically. The use of rhyme and near rhyme are not detracting at all. For the point made is worth it. Love the finishing stanza, wraps up the entire work very nicelly. Thank you for entering this into the contest.
Be well and be blessed,
