(This is a song I wrote in less than an hour which I felt like writing after hearing the terrible news of a car bomb blowing off in Jerusalem and killing and injuring many including children. It has made me feel sad all day and I just had to get my feelings out)



Don't Stop Dreaming
By: Noah Eaton
3/2/02

Sometimes the skies are blanketed in gray
I feel God is lightyears away from me
Tears of angels slide down this vapor canvas
Painting silver linings I still strive to see
I close my eyes and pray
How can we make all these tears seem bright?
I fall upon my hands and knees
I fall on my bed and cry

But I know I must go on and try
Although I'm hurt I must try and fly
Like Peter Pan I will think happy thoughts
I know I'm not the only one feeling this way

Children of the world...
Don't stop dreaming
God Bless your hearts
Believe you can fly...
Children...
Don't stop dreaming
Hold onto your dreams
Sweet dreams tonight...

There come times when life can be so cruel
I for one am a witness to sadness
But I know a friend in me
Who's taught me He will promise us justice
He has shown me hope
He encourages me to spread my wings
I may be no angel
But I know how to cry...

But I know I must go on and try
Although I'm hurt I must try and fly
Like Peter Pan I will think happy thoughts
I know I'm not the only one feeling this way

Children of the world...
Don't stop dreaming
God Bless your hearts
Believe you can fly...
Children...
Don't stop dreaming
Hold onto your dreams
Stay safe tonight...

But I know I must go on and try
Although I'm hurt I must try and fly
Like Peter Pan I will think happy thoughts
I know I'm not the only one feeling this way

Children of the world...
Don't stop dreaming
God Bless your hearts
Believe you can fly...
Children...
Don't stop dreaming
Hold onto your dreams
Stay safe tonight...

Come child, come in out of the smoke
I will give you love, I will give you hope

Noah - Very nice.  It is horrible what is going on over there between the people of Israel and the Palestinians, and it seems to be escalating each second of the day.

A very beautiful poem, Noah

Sometimes the skies are blanketed in gray
I feel God is lightyears away from me
Tears of angels slide down this vapor canvas
