I Dream a Dream

I dream of a world with no drugs,

No need for woes of life,

To be numbed by alcohol and partying.

I dream of a world

Where a child never says I love you,

To a parent

Only to never hear the words reflected.

I dream of a world

Where violence and physical abuse

Do not exist.

How I wish I could save,

Each innocent and little child,

Protect them from the damage,

They experience.

How I dream but only a dream,

I simply cannot let go of.
