Dreaming

I remember dreaming yes dreaming of what i wanted to be
a doctor, lawyer or teacher maybe
but boy does reality set in like a beep...
now i don't even remember what my dreams use to be
dreaming went to hoping went to wishing went to gone
Dreaming turned to materialistic aspirations stuff that got me nowhere and just made me impatient
I remember dreaming yes dreaming of what i wanted to drive
would it be Japanese, European, i knew it certainly wouldn't be a jag
but boy does reality set in like a beep....
now what i driving ain't even close to a jeep
Dreaming went to unrealistic, broke aspirations and once again it just made me impatient
Impatient to see what could actually be if i took my time and discovered me
I remember dreaming yes dreaming of what i could be, would be, should be, need to be
They encourage you to dream, you know "they" teachers, parents, pastors, sisters, brothers, Grammy, aunts...yup pretty much they
They want your dream because theirs never came true.
They need you to dream so that they may believe dreaming is not a thoughtless cloud that happens when you close your eyes..
Well I still remember dreaming yes dreaming because if i don't dream i won't believe and if i don't believe i won't succeed and reality will always set in like a beep.
