My Dream Box

I put my dreams into a box
So I could keep them safe
So I could remember a part of me I may forget
I put my dreams into a box
To hold for keeps
So that I still had belief
When it may be burned away
So I put my dreams into a box
So I could hold me dear—
when I feared that you would lose belief----
that I could ever be


My special box
May be a way
To shave the doubt and pave a way
To dream like children
To dream like friends
To remember a past
That had been buried and packed
So I put my special box way up high
I put it where the birds all fly----
where butterflies have to come to play


I put my dreams into a box
I grab them only when I wear my gloves
They’re my precious
They’re my perfect
My endless self wrapped far away
A piece of me that may live and lust
A way from hate, away from the darkest gate
So that I can believe that some good was true
So that a part of me will always remain bloomed
So I put my dreams into a box
Where I’ll find them when my luck is lost


My special box
May be a way
To shave the doubt and pave a way
To dream like children
To dream like friends
To remember a past
That had been buried and packed
So I put my special box way up high
I put it where the birds all fly----
where butterflies have to come to play


My shining mother you stand so bright
We think of you with the greatest delight
Although you feel worthless and a bit incomplete
You are more than anything that I see
So grow dear butterfly
And bloom till your best
You’re making a journey that is a worthy test
If you see what we do than you’ll start to believe
That you are so special and mighty as can be
So grow dear butterfly
And push past your fear
Because were all rooting for you and love you so dear


My special box
May be a way
To shave the doubt and pave a way
To dream like children
To dream like friends
To remember a past
That had been buried and packed
So I put my special box way up high
I put it where the birds all fly----
where butterflies have to come to play
