Dream
[Verse 1: Clayton Jennings]
I want you to dream
And I want you to know those dreams can come true
And there isn't anybody or anything that can stop you
Child of God doesn't mean doubter
You were created for more than to live like a coward
You can do anything through God's power
So stand up, man, and just keep walking
And lions don't converse with dogs who keep talking
So don't let naysayers hold you back
If you were told you can't, forget whoever told you that
And if you bought the lies of Satan, it's your fault that he sold you that
It's time for a refund, you better go get your faith back
I remember when people used to tell me I couldn't way back
I can't remember the last time I heard somebody say that
They stopped doubting me when I refused to listen
I wouldn't let anybody throw me off mission
So to that one kid, I need you to listen
Start today, man, be different
Be strong
The world can't understand the waters you're walking on
It takes a fighter to make it
So dream forever dreams and drown out the liars who hate it
They wanna make you believe you're average
Don't ever think that
And when the world knocks you down, get back up and swing back
Brush the dust off your boots and knuckle up
Consider this poetry a subtle nudge
Sitting on the couch, you're just collecting dust
As children of God, laziness should never be affecting us
But so many people are wasting away catching rust
So let the change rest with us
We will not budge
[Chorus: Blake Whiteley]
How can I inspire you to dream
Then I read that verse that tells me I can do all things, it seems
Sometimes I lose track of that and just rely on me
But the only way I make it work is when I'm on my knees
Don't give up, you gotta believe
You can be the change that the whole world need
Lemme get an okay when I obey
The door is open to proceed
I was bound down in my shackles waiting for the penalty
He broke my chains, opened up the gate, and set the captive free
Gave me eyes so I can see
Gave me breath so I could breathe
Only way to make a dream live is living for the King
He said give up everything you got, get up, and follow Me
He's the only way, the truth, the life, He's everything we need
I'ma shoot high for the sky
And be all that I can be
'Cause the pump inside my heart, that's the chorus side of me
Finally, I see the light come alive when you believe
We are stars in the night shining bright through the trees
We just gotta live in love, He goes up when I decrease
Rise above all the noise in a fake society
I was drinkin' up the lies, He was my sobriety
But my wings wouldn't work, mounted up and flying free
'Cause He came and fixed me up, gave me something to achieve
I believe the Deity, that's the key
[Verse 2: Clayton Jennings]
Wherever you're at right now, wherever you're hearing this
I want you to know that God has you on this Earth for a reason
That He loves you
That He has a purpose for your life and a plan for your future
And He wants you to dream great dreams and live for great things
And the only thing worth living for and dreaming of
Is a life that brings God glory
Right now, you have an opportunity to know your Creator
To live a life worth the call that He's placed on you
You know that the only way you can know God is through His son Jesus
So wherever you're at right now, you can get alone wherever that is and cry out to the name of the Lord and say
"Save me, change me, make me new, and then use my life"
And then step into that call and dream of great things knowing that if you have God, you have everything
And He will bring those plans to fruition
After all, He created you, He loves you
And He wants you to dream
