I can remember when not too long ago,

at night, I used to dream. Close my eyes and visualize all the things I'd seen,

all the things I want to be, and what the future brings.

I'd dream of living happily, and all the good I'd do.

At night, I used to dream…

Now another day goes by, without a dream in sight.

Never had to try before, it came so naturally, now without a dream in me,

my days and nights are short,

I can watch my life go by, I can watch my young boys grow.

I can see them dream at night, of all the things they've seen,

all the things they want to be, and what the future brings.

They dream of living happily, and all the good they'll do.

Maybe if I close my eyes, maybe one more try.

I can learn to dream again,

if only for tonight.

Dream.
