Some Things from unobscured by paul batchelor

i dreamed of being perfect, feeling i was flawed
longing to be something other than a fraud
but though i kept on trying i never did succeed
and now the only thing i am is me

i dreamed of being famous, a brightly shining star
and everyone would love me and travel from afar
but i was too faint-hearted to really ever try
and that is why i never learned to fly

some things don’t come easy
some things you get for free
some things take a lifetime
some things are not to be

and now my dreams of glory and pleasures i would know
are fading like a story from many moons ago
but when i look behind and see where i have been
to my surprise i would not change a thing …

but if you have a dream may i be so bold
and offer some advice from one who’s getting old?
gather all your courage, give it all you’ve got
then either you’ll succeed or you will not
