Our past blood dreamt of freedom and opportunity.
Opportunity to pray without persecution.
To not live under the rule of judgment and eternal sorrow.
But to live in a land of acceptance and never ending light.
To work their way up in the world. 
A vision of happiness and security. 
What does today dream about?
Money…Fame.
A society that worships the glamorous fame of others,
And dreams of materialistic fantasies.
People that always want more.  
Too many try to be anyone but themselves.
A nation distracted by a screen,
A screen that depicts unrealistic expectations,
A screen that blinds the minds of our youth.
The dream has changed.
And changed for the worse.
People need to take off the blindfold,
And open their eyes to the things that mean the most.
Family, Friendship, Love…...Happiness.
Dream of your dream.
No one else's.
Your dream is the only dream you can truly live.
Don’t be distracted by the world around you.
Remember the morals that lay deep in your heart.
Remember that you have the freedom,
The freedom to achieve this dream.
The opportunity to bring those dreams to reality.
And that's a dream all its own.
To be happy is my dream.
To not be a slave to the wage.
The wage that corrupts so many lives today.
Eliminate all the material objects.
I dream of one thing.
That no matter what this life presents me with. 
I want to wake up to the sun seeping through the window and know…...
Know that down to the deepest part of my heart,
That I am happy.
