Close your eyes Quote by Dallas Clayton
““Instead they dream of furniture Of buying a new hat Of owning matching silverware Could you imagine that? Yes there are places in the world Where dreams are almost dead So please my child do keep in mind Before you go to bed To dream a dream as big As big could ever dream to be Then dream a dream ten times as big As that one dream you see Please dream for those who’ve given up For those who’ve never tried Please use your dream to make new dreams For all the dreams that died So when you think your dreaming’s done Just remember what I said ‘Close your eyes my child and dream That perfect dream inside your head.””
