dream child dream

dream child dream.
dream and don't stop.
dream like you've never dreamed before.
dream and don't let anyone tell you you can't.
dream, and dream about failing miserably.
then dream about getting up again.
and then dream about getting up again.

dream child dream.
dream that i'm holding you tight in my arms.
dream that i'm rocking you to sleep.
and then dream of rain that falls from heaven and waters the earth below.
dream of rain that pitter patters on the roof.
and dream child dream of rain that pitter patters on your heart.
dream child dream of a daddy that doesn't leave.
dream child dream of a daddy that says, 'you can do it'.
dream child dream of a daddy that won't hurt you.

and dream child dream of a daddy that says...
'i love you'.
