Still My Dream (Original) - SONGWRITING CHALLENGE

This is a song that I wrote. It's a response to the songwriting challenge that I posted earlier, where you guys voted on what topic I write about.

Here's a video explaining the challenge:

The top voted entry was submitted by youtube user 0912873476a:
"You should write about goals that kids have when they are little, like being an astronaut, king, ect. And how it all turns out in the end."

Thanks everybody for your amazing ideas! There was a lifetime supply of brilliance. I ended up incorporating a number of other entries into the song as well - it ended up having a love song spin.

It's about how sometimes we don't realize what it is we really want in life until it falls on us.

I'd love to hear your take on the song topic as well! If you write a song about childhood dreams, please post it as a video response.

lyrics go here:

[verse]
when I was a boy
I thought that one day I could be
captain of a pirate ship
terror of the seven seas

or maybe a superhero
flying through the sky
vanquishing the evil dudes
with lasers from my eyes

[chorus]
is nothing as it seems
could this be the real life
or is this still just be my dream
cause you are all I see
nothing that I ever thought I wanted
but you are everything I need

[verse]
when I was a child
I thought that maybe someday soon
I could take off in a rocket ship
and write my name up on the moon

transform into a dinosaur
ravaging the land
giant teeth and giant claws
on tiny arms with tiny hands

[chorus]

[bridge]
I never knew that I would find you
walking in the dark
I kissed you in the park
and now I know that this is what I'm meant to be

[chorus] x2

You are amazing! You should be famous!
