Lyrics
Dreams and Realities
Music and Lyrics by Mia Celeste and Jaime Paredes (JP)
Verse 1
I once met this boy
Who wanted a guitar as a toy
Verse 2
But his father who knew of his talent
Did not invest due to his self-centered wallet
Pre Chorus
So, the boy played through his alley of desperation
Pretending with his hands, to play the most rhythmical creation
Chorus
Realities and art
Are like the dreams of one’s heart
An unpredictable journey
No matter what they say
You must hold on to your faith
To write your own story
Verse 3
The boy became a teen
Who aspire to write and sing
Verse 4
But his mother knew his passions
Diminished them into fractions
Pre Chorus
So, the boy sang (his heart out) through the alley of desperation
Pretending with his hands, to write the most beautiful creation
Chorus
Realities and art
Are like the dreams of one’s heart
An unpredictable journey
No matter what they say
You must hold on to your faith
To write your own story
Verse 5
Now, as a young man
He confronted his fears on a grandstand
Verse 6
But the audience laughed at his expense
Realized his music did not make any sense
Pre Chorus
Because he was lost in the alley of deception
Where dreams and realities do not have any connection
Chorus
Realities and art
Are like the dreams of one’s heart
An unpredictable journey
No matter what they say
You must hold on to your faith
Go write your own story
