LAURA'S GARDENS
( . o O DANCING ON THE WINGS OF FANTASY O o . )
somewhere inside the dream is still intact
somewhere inside the dream is still alive
somewhere inside the dream is still growing
even if this body doesn't survive
no matter how many hands might beat me
no matter how many hands might betray me
no matter how many hands might defeat me
I won't give in and change the way I feel
there are dues I will not pay
there are games I will not play
there are promises I will keep until my dying day
no matter what anyone does
no matter what people say
I will be me
and I will share my love unconditionally
so I give up the money and the gold
and I don't do everything I am told
and I may not survive to grow old
but I'll stay free
and I will keep reaching for a hand to hold
no matter how many hands might beat me
no matter how many hands might betray me
no matter how many hands might defeat me
I won't give in and change the way I feel
I will not buy what is sold
I will not do all I'm told
there are things more important than life or gold
no matter how cruel or cold
this world may be
I will keep reaching for a hand to hold
A Hand To Hold
(The Dream)
