Story Behind The Song

This song came about while I was working as a teacher's aide for children with learning disabilities while also going to school for a literature degree. Since I am also a musician you can probably imagine how much I must have been learning from all these different worlds I was involved with. The actual song came to me after meeting up with an old friend who reminded me everything in life is perspective. I wrote the song the next afternoon as a letter to thank Haley for reminding me that "LOVE IS NOT A DREAM".

Song Description

This song is a tail and a story for all to never lose hope or faith in your dreams because that fulfilling moment is right around the corner. This song speaks about how when you continue to work out the stress of life and continue moving towards the love that you desire one day you will wake up to realize that you are already living out your dreams. The love that is written about within the lyrics of "LOVE IS NOT A DREAM" is not focused on one person, place, or dream but is more importantly about how this comes to be realized through the everyday work of finding and or learning what those are.

Lyrics

So concerned within
A true and only confide in
Takes forever to realize
And then when you can't see
You close your eyes
Dream of what your made of
Out of place and scared it seems
Feelings that can't be reached
Shut under tired eyes
Build out from the past
Reach up to the sky
All alone to learn
In life you work it out
Sweating day by day
Time to look around
Then when you find this place
Which fits right in?
Takes forever to realize

As it goes on down
Like a picture
Stuck on the inside
Release to the open
Pain which fills the mind
Can only keep going strong
Limits are all your own
Lost and unspoken

Tell me again
That it is not
Tell me again
Love is not a dream.
