I’M STILL DREAMING
by R.D. Snow (c. 2009)

Think of the days when we had it made
Summers were endless and cool in the shade
Under the stars life wasn't hard
We'd look up and dream some day we'd go far

But as we get older the stars turn to cars
We settle for small things and even who we are

But I'm still dreaming, I'm still dreaming big
I want inches to heaven and miles to dig
My youth isn't over until I say it is
Aren't the days worth living
The days like this?

Think of the times as we wasted away
But in our young minds there was no other way
Covered in sand our little toes as we ran
Beaches were castles and rivers to plan

But as we get older the sand turns to land
We fight over small things and don't lend our hand
Is this how life began?

Cause I'm still dreaming, I'm still dreaming big
I want inches to heaven and miles to dig
My youth isn't over until I say it is
And the days worth living
Are the days like this

They say settle down, get a life
Get married, find a wife
Well that sounds like a perfect, grown up idea
But hey
I think the kids have it right
They don't only dream at night

Oh I'm still dreaming, I'm still dreaming big
I want inches to heaven and miles to dig
My youth isn't over until I say it is
And the days worth living are the days like this

And the days worth living
Are the days
Like this!
