Dreaming of things I never had Think of things my father said How does one make a dream come true? My father always said, "Girl, it must all start within you!" Getting grips with my own life Learning that I must sacrifice That I have to do some things that I really don't wanna do But I know that everything my father told me is true And once again he said to me "Sometimes you must do what you don't wanna do To be where you wanna be" Words of advice in life I can use Surely I'd have to live the life I choose And the hand I am dealt, I don't always have to take Because I have to sleep in the bed I make For those who think that sacrificing is cheesy Chasing dreams is never easy It's up to me to make my own dreams come true And like my father told me, it's up to me So I gotta do what I gotta do
Reason for writing:
This was brought on by a father/daughter talk with me and my dad. He's my hero.
