I HAVE A DREAM THAT I WILL BE SOMEONE
You can call on when the darkness falls
That I will be strong for you
I have a dream that you will see me
Shining brightly, like a thousand stars
That I will go far for you
I may seem small, with no hope at all
But this heart of mine still dares to dream
It may look unwise, this hold on life
But I’m still hopeful for so many things (’cause)
I’m standing tall when I am on Your shoulders
The stars don’t seem so far at all
With You it seems I could be someone who
One day, might be there for You too
I have a dream that I’ll be a teacher
Maybe a husband and a father too
I dream for two
And one day, maybe, I will be famous
You’ll see my name where the hero’s lie
I can only try for You
