#77 Labour - Dreams

When I dream, I dream of stars and rainbows.

I dream of flying to distant lands and fighting pirates

I dream of worlds I don't live in.

I live here, why would I dream about it as well?



I don't dream about what product I can sell

I don't dream about where my life is heading

I'm sure I will, but while I'm not dreaming yet

I don't mind following someone else's dreams for a while



But I want to follow someone whose dreams make me smile

Someone who wants to make the world a better place

Someone whose dream is of this world but still in colour

Someone who doesn't just dream of making more money



And I'm not writing this just to sound funny.

We have so limited time on this earth

Such little time to explore and influence the path of this rock

And I don't think I'm being unrealistic



I may be young, and I am idealistic

But I want to dream in this world someday to

Dreams are just a reflection of our surroundings after all

So I'm gonna follow a dreamer



Follow someone with plans: a schemer

Someone who dreams in ways others don't: a prophet

Someone who is, well, a human

Someone who doesn't just go with the capital flow
