My Dreams
By: Babawilly
-
Why should I give up on my dreams?
Visions I beheld at midnight
When mortals slept
When my soul visited the distant future
Then returned with new missions
New mountains to climb
-
I beheld it all alone
Yet no one is impressed
I beheld it so clearly
Yet my brethren are not interested
So they call me names
For I attempt the impossible
They laugh at me
Yet I dreamt all alone.
-
They too have seen
Their pictures in the night
Vast wildernesses to cross
Great oceans to navigate
At the end a great prize
But they succumb and give up
Contaminated with doubt
They wonder why I continue
Then pour the scorn on me.
-
I have tried and failed badly
Been battered by the shame
Of falling down at noon day
Cracking my lips in the dust
But why should I?
Why must I,
Give up on my dreams
Which I beheld all so clearly
-
A new day has dawned
The start of a New Year
In the future is destiny
In the present is great opportunity
The world will never see it
If my hands don’t show it
Can’t give up on my dreams
Lest my life be in vain
For I owe it to him
Who showed me this great vision
Why give up on my dreams
Which I beheld all alone.
