I think too much.
I keep myself up,
Asking questions like what if.
I can’t outrun all my thoughts.
I can’t out-wit all my wondering.
I always doubt what really was.
I always need to know because.
Oh, peace never comes easily,
But not knowing makes me happy.

Because I can dream…

I read too much.
Stories are my first love.
It’s my flight from time.
It’s another place, another life.
A different mind, the best kind.
Sometimes the hero steals my heart.
Sometimes this world leaves me starved.
Oh, reality never comes easily,
But not knowing makes me happy.

Because I can dream…

I want to much.
Hope is never enough.
I can’t commit to just one thing.
I don’t know what I’m meant to be.
I’m not sure whose life is calling me.
I don’t just want to get my feet wet.
I want to swim, reach the horizon.
Oh, the future never comes easily,
But not knowing makes me happy.

Because I can dream…
