I dreamed a dream much bigger than me
I caged the demons I inherited, left them to starve in dark and dusty corners
Swept them clean with the clutter in my head
I ascended from the rubble
A home decomposed, broken but never whole
I rewrote my own novel
A world created with images in storybooks
That burned as quickly as the fibers in which they breed
Each fall breaking off pieces
Of the person, I thought I had to be
Of the person, the world said I should be
Of the person, everyone needed me to be
Until I saw myself reflected in your eyes and saw a stranger I could never be
So, I dreamed a dream much bigger than me
Built from your reality, filled with all the possibility you believed existed in me
A place not meant for me
Where you watch the stars from above
And hold a strength that quiets the unrest
I dreamed a dream much bigger than me
Because I dreamed it for you
So, your dreams could be a success far beyond me
