Inspiration for you: always dream big!

For all of you who have given up or lost hope, I hope you find these helpful:



Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband - Dream Big!



When you cry, be sure to dry your eyes,
'Cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile, be sure to smile wide,
And don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
And don't show the hurt inside,
Because the pain will soon be gone.

(Chorus)
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.

And when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
And it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help you carry on,
But when the troubles come your way.

(Chorus)
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.

(Dream big.)
(Dream big.)

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes,
cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile be sure to smile wide, and
don't let them know that they have one.
And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all
around and in yourself, and it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to
help you carry on when the troubles come your way.

Chorus

Emily Shackelton - Dream Big!



When I was a little girl
I swore that I would change the world
When I grew up
Nothing else would be enough

Back then it all seemed black and white
But these days I just can't seem to find
The child in me, who always believed

I see it everyday
We settle for safe
And lose ourselves along the way

But if you don't dream big what's the use in dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for
So reach out for something more

Took a well perfected plan
For me to finally understand
That it's not me
Faith is something I can't see

I loose the reins and let 'em go
I broke the chains I fear
That had their hold on me too long
When all I felt was wrong

I've wiped my tears away
Now it's time for a change
No I can't waste another day

'Cause if you don't dream big what's the use in dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for

Yeah

So close your eyes and tell me what you see
Between what's real and make believe
Here's the path we've all been searching for
So reach out for something more

Than you ever could imagine then move
Don't wait for it to happen
Life's too short for not taking chances
The stars aren't as far as they seem

But if you don't dream big what's the use in dreaming
If you don't have faith there's nothing worth believing
It takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for

So close your eyes and tell me what you see
Between what's real and make believe
Here's the path we've all been searching for
So reach out for something more
For something more
So reach out for something more
