PAPER DREAMS
AS A YOUNG GIRL I'D PLAY DRESS UP AND DREAM
OF HOW MY LIFE WOULD BE
I'D MAKE UP STORIES AND IMAGINE
BEING SWEPT UP OFF MY FEET
BY WHOM YOU ASK IS THE DARING FELLOW
THE HERO TO RESCUE ME
WHY IT WAS MY HEART'S DESIRE AT THE TIME
WHOEVER I WANTED IT TO BE
THEN AS I GREW UP AND THOUGHT OF WHO I COULD BE
I'D WRITE MY THOUGHTS DOWN ON PAPER
FOR ONLY MY EYES TO SEE
I DREAMT OF TOUCHING PEOPLE'S HEARTS
AND CHANGING THEIR LIVES FOR GOOD
WHAT BETTER WAY COULD THERE BE
THAN THROUGH THE WRITTEN WORD
FOR THROUGH A BOOK YOU CAN TRAVEL FAR
OR VISIT THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA
YOU CAN TRAVEL TO THE FUTURE
OR SEE ANCIENT HISTORY
YOU CAN HAVE ADVENTURES THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO LAUGH
ANDVENTURES THAT MAKE YOU CRY
SOME CAN 'SCARE THE WADDIN' OUTTA YA'
OR MAKE YOU WANT TO FLY
BUT IN THE END, THERE'S NOTHING BETTER
THAN A BOOK THAT MAKES YOU SIGH
NOW THROUGH THE YEARS AS I'VE PONDERED MY GOALS
MY DREAM TO CHANGE HEARTS AND LIVES
I'VE REALIZED THE MOST IMORTANT ONE TOUCHED
IS THE LIFE THAT I CALL MINE
THROUGH IT ALL, THE GOOD AND THE BAD
I KNOW WHO I SEE
I SEE THE WOMAN I'VE BECOME
THE WOMAN I WANT TO BE
I MAHY NEVER GET TO WALK ON THE MOON
OR BELONG TO ROYALTY
AND SOME MAY DOUBT MY ABILITIES
BUT THAT'S OKAY WITH ME
FOR I KNOW I CAN DO ANYTHING
ANYTHING WITH PAPER DREAMS
