A truth is one you believe is not false
A dream is one you imagine
But if you believe what you dream is not false
Who’s to say it's not true?
A dream is a path that you may take
If you'd only open your mind's eye
But if your eyes are wide open and you follow the path
Who says they may not become reality?
Perhaps a dream is a truth not believed
And a truth is a dream not abandoned
For an abandoned truth becomes a dreamed story
Who’s to say they're any more than mere lies?
So I tell you that to dream true
Is to believe in your dreams
For all things true come from the mind
Is that not also where dreams are made?
