The Dream

Dreams

Almost for the half  of our lives

We have chased after things that were not worth our time 

From silly souvenirs to the lust of power 

We have all worked for things that were a dime in a dozen 

We forgot what we all wanted in life 

From things like peace, safety, happiness and prosperity 

Have been replaced by money, greed, power and lust

The innocence has seen its end 

The dreams that were once dreamt 

Are now lost in the sands of time 

The kids we were when we used to dream 

Of a life filled with happiness, love and respect has now been shattered 

We just dream of a life that is just a facade 

It is a life of the people who are under influence of power, greed and hunger of success 

Has life and the growing competition changed us 

Has the humanity and innocence been burned into ashes 

We used to dream

Of a life with the most simplest thing

A life where happiness would be the thing that matter 

And trust will be the statement for life 

But now the dream is gone 

With deception and politics being 

The main agenda in people's lives 

Where no one cares for your happiness and be proud of you when you succeed 

At times how much I pray to god

That if only we could live the dream 

And all the other sins go back to hell

How much I wish that if dreams do come true.
