Pick Up Your Dreams

Said pick up your dreams,
And take them with you,
Because if you leave them,
Then it just makes room,
For the inevitable.

Full of your own thoughts,
Of what it might bring you,
Getting ahead soon,
This ones not quite through..

And when you get older,
You realise you know none,
And it will surprise you,
When you say look son,

Just pocket your dreams,
And don’t dare tell them all,
Because once they have seen it,
They’re planning your downfall.

They don’t really mean it,
They’ve just gathered their moss,
And once they have seen it
It reminds them of their loss,

So pick up your dreams,
don’t let them out of your sight,
and don't worry about the times when your downtrodden
They later keep you upright.

When you’re in the darkness,
At the edge of your mind,
Remember winter's just a way of telling us
That we should light a fire inside.

So pick up your dreams,
And take them with you,
No use to leave them,
No need to make room.
