Dream Big


LYRICS:
When you cry, be sure to dry your eyes,
'Cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile, be sure to smile wide,
And don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
And don't show the hurt inside,
Because the pain sill soon be gone.

(Chorus)
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.

And when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
And it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on,
But when the troubles come your way.


I absolutely love this song. I have actually been listening to it for a while and recently it came up on my ipod shuffle. I was listening to the words and it reminded me of what good music is really all about. I feel like I get so caught up with the latest Britney Spears song or Justin Timberlake's newest album that I forget what real, genuine music lyrics are all about. I find these lyrics to be really meaningful and really good words to live by. These lyrics remind me of the advice my parents gave me growing up and the type of values my parents wanted me to have. My parents have always taught me I could do anything I wanted as long as I worked my hardest. They have always encouraged me to be better at everything I do and that the bigger I set my goals and the harder I work at achieving them, the more likely they are to come true!
