Heart is filled with dreaming 
Night will fall and then 
Gazing at the ceiling 
He's dreaming once again 

Perhaps he is just gazing 
Without a thought with sigh 
Or maybe he's a pilot 
Flying in the sky 

Maybe on a baseball mound 
Ready for his throw 
Striking out the batters 
Nine innings in a row 

Standing in a court of law 
Defending client's rights 
Giving final argument 
For justice with his might 

Quite possibly in retrospect 
You are this boy you see 
Growing up just one more time 
With knowledge so worldly 

Taking life for all it's worth 
Deciding where to go 
Do you think it's possible 
What dreams would you follow?
