BIG DREAMS TO A CONFUSED YOUNGSTER

They said my dreams should scare me
Else they weren't big enough.
I pulled out a knife
And asked if they were scared to die...
I realised we all had 'big dreams' after all.

They said my dreams should scare me
Else they weren't big enough;
So I fantasized a day out with a Tyrannosaurus Rex
In a crowded restaurant...
I realised we all had 'big dreams' after all.

They said my dreams should scare me
Else they weren't big enough.
I told them It was my dream
To see them guillotined, yet alive.
Thoughts of it scared me...
Well that was the last time I saw them.

And now I'm sure
That every single nightmare I've had
Inflated my balloon of a dream
And turned it into a planet.
I hope my dreams are big enough.
