Dreams
Little Sally wanted more
 Than this slum and a spot on the floor
 In a bad part of town where she lived
 She wanted more, she had so much to give
 
 She wanted a job that would help people out
 She wanted to site cases and learn the ins and outs
 Wanted to scream, “I object” out of the blue
 And know that she’d be true
 
 The dreams we all share 
 Some close and some far
 Are all our own to dream and dare
 You just need to open the door
 
 Philip’s family wanted money 
 They wanted fame; they wanted glory
 They wanted Philip to be great and have power
 Philip didn’t want to climb that tower
 
 Philip wanted nothing more
 Than a little house and acres of soil
 Where he could grow green beans and corn
 Where he could be humble and know his morals
 
 The dreams we all share
 Some close and some far
 Are all our own to dream and dare
 You just need to open the door
 
 Kristi was stuck
 In commercials for a quick buck
 Going home to her little apartment
 Where she couldn’t afford the rent
 
 She wanted fame and a star
 On Hollywood boulevard 
 To have thousands of swooning fans
 To be in famous movies and sing in all the bands
 
 The dreams we all share
 Some close and some far
 Are all our own to dreams and dare
 You just need to open the door
