Dear little dreamer
You have not lost at all
Cause what slipped through your fingers
Has little to do with life at all
Holly dear, the dreams you dream
Cannot be found by the wayside
You should know
In letting go
You'll come to find what you hope for
(You'll come to find what you long for)
Dear little dreamer
I'll tell you this much is true
If the whole world forsakes you
My heart is wide open for you
For every dream that goes to waste
Will find new life before His face
For all you could ever desire
Is what He gives
It will inspire
A love that lasts
A life lived well
And further than you can tell
There are better things
