Longing, hoping, wishing, your dream will find a way.
You daydream, you wish,
opportunity arises and you grasp it.
We wish upon a star,
in hopes that our dreams will go far, but in the light of day we can see that over the rainbow lies a realistic world of cruelty and hate.

Everybody has wonderful dreams, but as we get older reality can hit our dreams hard.
