Story Behind The Song

I have a friend that is a professional Singer/Songwriter that teaches songwriting classes. I decided to take several classes for furthering my education. We would talk about my dreams of becoming a professional singer/songwriter and never focused on her. Finally, I got her to talk about her dreams and she became very fustrated about them.I learned that my friend was going to give up and stop doing music for a living. I wrote this song for her in hoping she wouldn't give up her dream. She is still writing music for a living.

Song Description

Many people lose sight of their dreams by the struggle of day to day life. Some may take the easy way out and just give up. But if your dream is destined to happen there are signs that keep creeping up, telling you not to give up. It's ok to have many dreams but the one that you love the most will never give up on you.

Verse I think your shoes have seen miles.
I could tell by your face and your kinds of smiles.
Cause some go up and some go down. I can tell that
You?ve been around.

Verse You seem uneasy and unsettled.
I think you like fast pace than mellow.
Cause your brain is running but your shoes are
Standing in a place that?s not so you.

Chorus It?s ok to take one more lap around.
It?s ok to keep two feet on the ground. (It?s ok to keep two smiles going on.)
It?s ok if you want to settle down.
But whatever you choose.
Your dreams will find you.

Verse I think your words have spoke plenty
I could tell by your voice and your poems of stories.
Cause some go happy and some go this way. I can tell that
It wasn?t easy.

Verse You seem unsteady and uncommon.
I think you like unknowns than knowing
Cause your hands are shaking but your words are
Flowing in a place that?s not so you.

Chorus It?s ok to take one more lap around.
It?s ok to keep two feet on the ground. . (It?s ok to keep two smiles going on.)
It?s ok if you want to settle down.
But whatever you choose.
Your dreams will find you.
Bridge
They creep up when you least expect it.
They don?t give in cause they may regret it.
But they like to sleep as if you were their bed
And slowly wake up and mess with your head.
In a deep deep sleep they like to stir you up.
They like to freak you out with emotions and stuff.
And when you?re finally settled and they finally go
They kind of sneak back up to let you know that..
Chorus
It?s ok to take one more lap around.
It?s ok to keep two feet on the ground. . (It?s ok to keep two smiles going on.)
It?s ok if you want to settle down.But whatever you choose your dreams will find you.
