I remember this one time, when I was sitting on a bench and a man walked up to me And told me to follow my dreams and I told him I didn't have any I told him that the house that I lived in had walls of cement and gates With locks without keys He asked me where I lived I told him I didn't know He asked me where my family went I told him I didn't feel like I had any Where I sit is where dreams go to die Where I walk is where smiles turn to sighs The man asked me if I needed help I told him I've already tried that Sir you could just leave it's ok Why do you wanna be here with me anyway? The man says I'm not gonna do that! You see son As Cocoons sprout butterflies And trees make fruit And your mom said hello and gave birth to you You're dreams were born from thoughts Your thoughts born from your brain The very brain that told you to go run into the rain The rain that you called a playground when you were little With dreams larger than life and the bottomless sea floor With unknown species yet to be found You see son like a carpenter that makes tables And a goldsmith that shapes beauty I created this world thousands of years ago So Don't sit on that bench and tell me that you don't know Go climb a tree Jump off a small cliff into the sea Swim and jump and laugh with me Get off that bench please This bench isn't what you were created to sit on I didn't create you to live like this Where you sit isn't where dreams go to die Where you walk is not where smiles turn to sighs Thats your choice Thats your truth I created you but you chose to let him taint your youth Don't let him do that Take this, put it in your pocket, take it all Small gifts are pure as gold My gifts are not to be sold, they give life So don't lie around and wait! Please go share my gift And He left and walked away So I got up from the bench And followed Then I woke up Reached into my pocket and the gift wasn't there Then I felt my heart and the gold was in there sealed tight Shut with his hands surrounding gripped with all his might And I said alright lets do this again, and I got up and started my day
