I won't

I won't live in your dreams
I won't be the decoration
standing proudly by your side
as you receive your awards

I have merits of my own
that receive no recognition
go ahead and live your life
and find the girl you're longing for

In my dreams you are
someone I love and care for
In my dreams you are
someone I want so to be there for

But your dreams of public glory
don't coincide with mine
So I'll get by alone and
leave that dream behind

If I could I'd make you see
the worth in being free
of the formatted thinking
of polite society

I won't be your politician
I won't be your thing to use
I won't fuel your vain ambitions
or walk the pathways you choose

But should you find yourself
freed from the dreams
of worldwide recognition
and political ambition

And you seek God instead
where angel feet may tread
unafraid and unashamed
and call upon His name

You can live in my dreams
come be part of my life
and you will be my center
I will stand by your side

I will believe in you
if your heart is true
to the faith and to the light
that will dispel the endless night.
