I Dreamed A Dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms We cannot weather...

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

Wow - I didn't know what someone was talking about today when they asked me if I had heard this lady sing this song. I thought it was some joke but agreed to watch the video! Oh my word - I can not describe how shocked I was! It was so touching - to think this lady still hasn't given up on her dream and she's 47! It was definitely inspiring and i needed that today for sure - (not the best of days.... i had someone call and wake me up bright and early and it was NOT a pleasant conversation...)
Life can sometimes seem to take away our dreams; sometimes things seem totally impossible.
We must not give up though! Hope this gives us all a little hope today! :-)
