DON'T GO DROWNING

don't go drowning in your dream
no matter what it be
it may appear so vital
makes no difference can't you see

some have to do with family
some with glory some with pride
others want to change the world
others want a bride
 
funny things have happened
with the friends that i have known
some were fighting for the people
some were for the throne
some were praising allah
some were fighting jews
some were working with a plan
some awaiting clues
seen men of good will on the left
seen some upon the right
some were building campuses
others set alight
 
so don't go drowning in your dreams
no matter what they be
 
get a step above them
to a place where you can see
