"I HAVE A DREAM"
Lyrics and music by Chet Nichols

VERSE One
When I wakeup in the morning
I know I'm just like you
Wondering what the day will bring
The ups and downs that we'll go thru
Now, going through the motions
That's no way to live
Our lives can be a celebration
If you only learn to give

CHORUS:
I have a dream
Where I reach up to the stars
And gather all your wishes there
And help to answer every prayer
I have a dream
And there is no better gift to give
Than to help you live a life you love to live

VERSE Two
Underneath my skin
Yeah, I know I'm just like you
If we don't share what's in our hearts
Our lives will be untrue
Your secret aspirations
They mean so much to me
And I promise I'll do all I can
To help to set them free

CHORUS:

BRIDGE
We shouldn't just live inside our heads
Love shows us, there's a better way
Every heartbeat is like a diamond
So, share what's in your heart everyday

CHORUS


Us
