Dream

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.~



Everyone has a right to dream, doesn't it? Let us take a look a Susan Boyle. She dreamed a dream, to be a singer. And her dream came true. From a humble village woman to an internationally recognized singer. Isn't it amazing? And this is the power of dream. Everyone was being cynical of her the moment she stepped onto the stage, but, the moment she started singing, guess what happened? THE AUDIENCE, THE JUDGES, EVEN SIMON COWELL, THE KING OF ALL INSULTS, WAS SPEECHLESS. EVERYONE WENT WOW. 


It all happened because she dared to dream. And her dream came true. The result was beyond expectation, simply amazing, heartwarming. I myself has touched, so deeply that tears began to roll down.


We too, have a right to dream. It is the matter of how to going to actualize our dreams. If we believe in our dreams firmly, we sure too, like Susan will have our dreams come true. 


No matter how our dreams were torn apart, we still must have a dream. We should never lose faith in the dreams that we believe in.  One should not lose hope no matter how bad the situation is. And miracles do happen for those who persevere.


And a miracle was created for Susan Boyle. Her dream came true. It is up to us to make the miracle happen. 




With that, I dreamed a dream.



Signing off. Good night world.
