When I was a child
I had a dream
A dream filled
With hope and love
And laughter and kindness
When I awoke
I still remember
The crushing disappointment
That my dream
Could never be
A reality
At least not right now
I hope in the future
I am able to make the difference
I wish I could
Wake up
Those around me
Until then
I don't want to
Wake up
