     What you see may not be real
     What you touch, you just can’t feel
     Those around you, don’t they know
     That those places, you just can’t go

     Your dream, abroad, inside your head
     But all these things, I know instead
     That reality, a mirror glass
     Sharp as stone, yet tough as brass

     Dreams, a bubble, broken, burst
     And it seems so much like a curse
     Shattered illusions all abound
     And everything still does confound

     Standing here with dreams gone wry
     And nothing to do but to cry
     Simple tears, yet not of joy
     What to do, an endless ploy

     Courage up, yet stand tall
     Things today are not it all
     Remember now, dreams can change
     And you are still no person strange

     Stand with dreams, don’t let them shun
     Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done
     Persistence in the end pays off
     And you will be the last to scoff
