Stolen Dreams
late at night when no one is around
the dream thief sneaks into your town
looking for some hope to steal
to feed upon and make a meal
the small town girl with stars in her eyes
now walks the streets under gloomy skies
she dreamed she would be a star someday
now strange men on her body prey
the all American football king
who dreamed one day of a championship ring
now each day robs his family blind
to feed drugs to his rotting mind
the teacher and preacher and politician
all know now that there is something missing
it was not supposed to turn out this way
as they hope to dream just one more day
