Dreams tucked away beneath pillows
Deep within, the conscience bellows
For courage to awaken from slumber
The sleep of failure crawls nigh
As the night of procrastination comes by
Light up the lamp of awareness
Come forth from the womb of Sloth
From the cocoon, beauty be clothed
Ready yourself to take flight
Begin to flap the wings of bravery
Taking flight, fly away from slavery
And be released from the chains of fear
Yes, fear
The fear of fighting battles that must be fought
Release yourself from negative thoughts
Now I ask you to begin
On your marks, get set
Reach beneath the pillows
And pull out your dreams
With your courage powered self
Race on the track of success
With determined eyes look nowhere
But ahead, where the target rests
Not stopping till you reach the finishing line
Where those dreams become reality
