The Dreams We Had

…and tell me, whatever happened to those dreams we had?  
Did they fade away into some forgotten memory?  
Or did they come true and yet somehow you still feel sad  
When you look back at that drawn out trajectory
 
And tell me about the plans you laid out and sought out
Did all the plot points on your map ever take you there?
Were you sure footed without a shadow of a doubt?
Not realizing you took the wrong chart everywhere
 
Tell me about that dream you always dreamed and never told
Like wishes when blowing candles on your birthday cake
Did you remember them all as you kept getting old
Or did the days fly by and now you can’t catch a break
 
If you listen, you can hear those dreams in the distance
Echoing through the caves of your preoccupied mind  
Like a sweet song reminding you of their existence
Hoping that one day you’ll finally make the time…
