Life is taken for granted,
and dreams are thought
to be free.

When you are young,
the world is at your feet,
but when you become older,
the world is the weight
bearing down upon your shoulders.

Life is a struggle
but still taken for granted.

Change will come
to steal away that belief,
and dreams are no longer free.

But we still
struggle to dream.

We still struggle to live
in hopes of finding
that one day,
where struggle ends
and we are set free.
