8) Dream Has Died Words/Music-C. Grier Sesac Singerfish Publishing

A Tactic She Used While Twisting A Smile

Words Worn And Used, But She Knows How To Use Them So Well

I Can Tell, So Very Well

An Old Leather Book Filled With Brown Tattered Pages, She Should Despise

Tells Of Her Trials And Her Tribulations, She Should Revise

After 17 Years Of Abuse And Displacement, How To Revive

Lifts Up Her Hand To Her Face In The Mirror, How To Survive

When The Dream Has Died

The Dream Has Died

All Her Hopes Had Dried Up

She Found The Will To Survive

Cause Her Mind Was Made Up

That The Dream Has Died

But She Will Survive

Maybe One Day She’ll Slip On The Sly

To Cherish The Girl She Was Oh So Afraid To Rely On For So Long

So Very Long

The Dream Has Died

All Her Hopes Had Dried Up

But She Will Survive

Maybe One Day When Her World Will Seem Brighter, She Will Comply

To The Dream That Was Lost So Deep Down Inside Her, Knowing She Tried

Everyone Knew That She Had It Within Her, Disappointment Aside

Had To Be True To Herself And Remember, The Answer To Why

Her Dream Died

The Dream Has Died

All Her Hopes Had Dried Up

Found The Will To Survive

Cause Her Mind Was Made Up

That The Dream Has Died But She Will Survive
