From the recording The Night Train (In production)
The world we live in today is so splintered and unfocused. It would take a great mind to absorb and understand all that is happening these days. So many distractions and so much division...and I see so many people who WANT to have dreams or DO have them but trying to find a mindset to do these things, is difficult. So, I feel we all need a little help from other and that is what this song is about.

DADGAD
VERSE One
When I wake up in the morning
I know I’m just like you
Wondering what the day will bring
The ups and downs that we’ll go thru
Now, going through the motions
That’s no way to live
Like can be a celebration
When we finally choose to give
CHORUS:
I have a dream
Where I reach up to the stars
And gather all your wishes there
And help to answer every prayer
I have a dream
Where there is no better gift to give
Than help you live the life you want to live
VERSE Two
Underneath my skin
Yeah, I know I’m just like you
But, if we don’t share what’s in our hearts
Our lives will be untrue
All your aspirations
They mean so much to me
And I promise I’ll do all I can
To help to set them free
CHORUS:
BRIDGE
We shouldn’t just live inside our heads
Love has shown, there’s a better way
‘Cause in my heart I’ve found a treasure
I will share with you everyday
CHORUS
“I HAVE A DREAM”
