How do you pin down a dream?
Or, bind a mind so tight
all hope takes flight?
I do not see why you would;
even if you could.
When hopes and dreams are lost
we all pay a terrible cost.
No gated house, no security alarm
protects every place of possible harm.
The threats and fears you plant
grow into weeds that choke
the life out of every community,
disrupt any sense of unity
to hold a country together
to fight its true enemy.
Too late we discover the truth.
We finally remember and see
the enemy we cry as uncouth
is actually you and me.
So, let us set every dream free,
embrace hope and reach for the stars.
Let us remember for once and for all,
all that we could be, and who we really are.
