Dream - Feat. Antonia Jenae

This is a song about persistence in the face of adversity
This is a song about never giving up
About holding on
About holding on to your dream
'Cause you never ever, ever know

She had just one dime in her pocket, but in her heart she had forever
Walking through the neighborhood mind full of dreams
Eager to take in the world all around her
Looking for refreshment, relief from the hot sun
On the pavement baking
Making friends with passers-by with a wide-eyed smile
And a friendly wave
She knew that this was living

But she didn't know about the neighborhood hard knocks
Who would stop and take the time that she held on to
A toll to pass the block
She thought this was madness
As sadness passed her heart, as she let it go
And let go of her dime, and let go of her smile
And let go of her savings
But saved more than two nickels could ever buy
So she let it go, but loves gonna find her again
'Cause they could never take her dream

When you feel down better look up
Never know when you'll change your luck
Never know, never know

When you feel down better look up
Never know when you'll change your luck
Never know, never know

They had just one wish and a kiss is what they would seek
They would speak before the dance
'Cause he had taken the chance to ask for her company
For this magical evening
Believing she was the one for him, he bought flowers and candy showers
And she showed appreciation
This was the stuff that dreams are made of
And dreams can last a lifetime

Now in a few months they would part
Leaving behind high school memories
And high school laughter
And high school ways in search of higher learning
Looking for the great beyond
But what was beyond what they knew now to be
This last dance, this last glance
What could be beyond what is so pure
They could only guess as they danced deep inside this dream

When you feel down better look up
Never know when you'll change your luck
Never know, never know

When you feel down better look up
Never know when you'll change your luck
Never know, never know

When you feel down, when you feel down
Better look up, better look up
When you feel down, when you feel down
Better look up, better look up

When you feel down, when you feel down
Better look up, better look up
When you feel down, when you feel down
Better look up, better look up

He sat with pen and paper in hand at a desk in the dark
Thinking he could change the world with his ink
He had come to think that the world only needed one word
To change the path
To make a difference with something in different
In a time of time of apathy he wanted something good
Something wonderful, something real
A humanity to believe in

In the world of imitation, gentrification, adulation with material
The ethereal was never pondered
So he wondered if any of all of what he had installed
Would grasp the minds would grasp the hearts
Of those that surrounded him
Those that found in him
A person who cared
A person who shared
A person that held onto his dream

When you feel down better look up
Never know when you'll change your luck
Never know, never know

When you feel down better look up
Never know when you'll change your luck
Never know, never know

When you feel down better look up
Never know when you'll change your luck
Never know, never know

When you feel down better look up
Never know when you'll change your luck
Never know, never know
