Above all else

Above all else I am longing
Above all else I’d like to live a dream
Above my head the stars are shining bright
I would reach for them
but I don't dare

Above all else, I am human
Above all else, I'm like everybody else
Above all else, I don't dare to presume it would be easy
that I could be among those who succeed

How I long for that day when I have nothing left to say
in my defense for giving up before I try
How I long to feel the weight of my dreams upon my chest
feel them weigh me down on my knees

Then above all else I could do my best
Above all else I would try
And above my head there would be only empty sky that I could fill
with every little dream I could think of

Above all else I'm a dreamer
Above all else I'm full of hope
though I haven't quite decided
though my dreams remain divided
I have hope
that one day I will dare
