heard that you need to close your eyes
And think about what you really want
So I did.
I heard that you had to write that something you really want
On a piece of paper
So I did.
I heard that you have to burn the piece of paper
With that something you really want
So I did.
I heard that you had to watch the paper light up and turn to ash
To make the wish come true
So I did.
I heard that it will take some time for that something to happen
And that I had to wait
So I did.
I waited and waited and waited
Excited, enticed, elated
The time tick-ticked by
Until I started asking why
Why did I have to wait
Why didn't it work
Why did I believe
I heard that Zong dreams don't come true
And that dreaming should stop
So I did.
I stopped dreaming
I stopped hoping
I stopped waiting
For that something
For my dream
For you...
