When you were a small child, what was your great desire
To build a brand new world, or to set it on fire
Traditions to dream up, or heroes to admire
To dig up a grand treasure, or construct a spire

We all have our own wishes when we are quite small
To be ballerinas, to or play basketball
It's all up to us if we rise or we fall
To wallow in the mud, or to stand up so tall

Go on and grab the dream that's behind your eyes
But do not forget to help others to rise
