| The Worth of a dreamer

Yesterday, July 4th 2008 was a quiet day for me...the first one in ages. My son was at his grandma' and I intentionally left him there most of the day as I sat quietly in my room and composed a song.
The Alvarez across my knee and note pad in front of me I worked for hours.
I had been playing around with this chord progression for a couple of weeks and I really liked it but I had no idea where to go with it.
Well for the past couple of months I've sure been doing a whole lot of soul searching. I know there is something missing in my life and Im trying like hell to find it. I know what it is now...its my own happiness. Thats why Im not here looking for love, I have found the best love a man could ever know and yet I still come up empty...so what is it?
I was always a dreamer...the larger than life kinda dreamer...and I wasnt afraid to go after them either.
But one day I just took all my dreams and locked them in an air tight box and I walked away from them to prove a stupid point...that I could be just as normal as the next guy.
For 23 years I have lived a life without any dreams...thats enough to break a normal person...imagine what it does to a dreamer like me.
Living without dreams has sucked the life right out of me and Im sick of it. Its time to find new dreams in my life and to find my happiness again.
So I wrote this song "the worth of a dreamer" I would love to share the lyrics with you but I won't for practical reasons but I will share just an excerpt from it.
You gotta be hungry for something
If you want to feel alive
It all has to add up to something
Or else its just a lie
What is the worth of a dreamer
Who has locked his dreams away
Where does he get the strength to hold his head up
When he knows its all a lie
