There’s not enough notes
in a pit of dead end jobs
not enough quavers
in a river clogged with carp
or sincere prayers for an
angel playing the harp
There’s not enough eccentricity
in electricity
not enough light
in a lunar eclipse
or bursts of brilliance
to paint the night
You may be a musical soul
visionary dreamer
sensory perceiver
make believer
do gooder fool
at least you’re you!
Make believer
make it happen
make it real
make believer
whatever you do
don’t be a dreamkiller
There’s not enough people
to fill heaven
not enough strangers
opening hearts
or dreamers
to play their part
There’s not enough space
to elevate the mind
not enough love
to qualify a right
or overhaul
the toll of time
You may be a musical soul
a visionary dreamer
sensory perceiver
make believer
do gooder fool
at least you’re you!
Make believer
make it happen
make it real
make believer
whatever you do
don’t be a dreamkiller
We tried to build
a staircase
instead we sent a rocket
across the sky
we tried to find answers
only to find more whys
There’s not enough age
in youth
not enough longevity
in a talent pool
or sense to let it go
to let it be
Make believer
make it happen
make it real
make believer
whatever you do
don’t be a dreamkiller
