Once upon a time I had a Great Dream,

The Dream taught me a few things

That your crown doesn't make you a queen

That you could be anything as long as you believe

It even taught me to be selfless

To give my all even when heads are turned the other way

Give the critics something to talk about but don't give them your energy

All who've watched you fall won't pick you up

But keep those who watched near so they can see how you picked yourself up again

Listen closely to the silent words that are graced with looks but don't pay them any mind because they don't know what you could really do

In this Dream it taught me to love hard but cautiously

Give your songs a title because they are the untold stories of your soul

Speak your truth and if you need to, dance in it too

You're only as weak as you decide and as strong as you'll discover

It taught me when to take a break and that relationships are all give and take

The Dream taught me that I wasn't sleeping, but living a reality

But the Dream wasn't enough because that's not what made it Great

It was Great, because it taught me to be resourceful

How to live in my fullest even when it's uncomfortable

It taught me to not cry when things don't go my way because God has something waiting

It was Great because it showed me how to forgive

How to laugh even when all you want to do is cry

It was Great because it taught me how even the little things I can pray for too

It showed me what dreams are worth chasing

How the enemy feed on your downfall so don't stay down for too long

The Greatness that lived in this dream was because it showed me how to break the Standard

How to not allow yourself from being the best you

How to not only make sure you eat, but to feed your family too

This Dream was definitely one for the books and that's why it'll always be recognized as the GREAT DREAM
