the Circle


Have you ever seen a rainbow

dance before your eyes?

Have you searched for the pot of gold?

And in the nighttime

have you looked up to the sky?

For a falling star that you could hold


And in the darkness

have you closed your eyes?

And wished for something that could never be

Or dreamed of someone

not meant for you

Yet you hold that dream eternally


The rainbows fade

Take the pot of gold

And leave you feeling alone

The nighttime sky

Will change to blue

No stars to guide you home

And wishes they say

Are a dime a dozen

We know they don't come true

The dreams are often

All we have

To help us make it through


Life is real

Fantasy but a game

We have to face the day

We make mistakes

We stumble and fall

We often lose our way

But if we dig

Down deep inside

And let that spirit free

And do the best

Stay honest and true

What we give....


we will receive
