my hands hold safely to my dreams

clutching tightly not one has fallen

so many years i've shaped each one

reflecting my heart, showing who i am

now you're asking me to show

what i'm holding oh so tightly

can't open my hand; can't let go

does it matter?

should i show you?

can't you let me go?

surrender, surrender

you whisper gently

you say i will be free

i know but can't you see

my dreams are me,

my dreams are me

say you have a plan for me

and that you want the best for my life

told me the world has yet to see

what you can do with

on that's committed to your call

i know of course what i should do

that i can't hold these dreams forever

but if you give then now to you

will take them

away forever?

or can i dream again?
