a billion dreams
you know how the night sky
holds billions of stars
burning and shining
whenever it’s dark?
well, what if I told you
it’s not as it seems?
that they’re actually billions
and billions of dreams
and each, every night
when you climb into bed
the dreams that you have
all float out of your head
up past the trees
and then up through the clouds
up to the night
without making a sound
they meet with the moon
and get ready to shine
finding their place
in the indigo sky
and that’s where they watch from
that’s where they wait
until it’s their moment
their time and their place
some stars are tiny
and some stars are huge
see, if the star’s big
then the dream must be too
the irony though
is that when we are small
our dreams are the greatest
and wildest of all
then as we get bigger
our dreams start to shrink
our stars begin fading
as we overthink
and there may be times
you forget how to dream
when your mind is busy
and struggles to sleep
and if that does happen
just look to the sky
look at those stars
that are all standing by
and search for the dreams
all belonging to you
just biding their time
until they can come true
then blow them a wish
and climb up into bed
pull up the covers
and lay down your head
then close your eyes tightly
and promise this
never stop dreaming
and always dream BIG
