PROLOGUE/ANY DREAM

NARRATO
R

SOME FOLKS DREAM OF THE

WONDERS THEYLL DO

BEFORE THEIR TIME ON THIS

PLANET IS THROUGH.

SOME JUST DONT HAVE

ANYTHING PLANNED

THEY HIDE THEIR HOPES AND

THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND.
NOW, I DONT SAY WHO IS
WRONG, WHO IS RIGHT,
BUT IF BY CHANCE YOU ARE
HERE FOR THE NIGHT,
THEN ALL I NEED IS AN HOUR
OR TWO
TO TELL THE TALE OF A
DREAMER LIKE YOU.
WE ALL DREAM A LOT.
SOME ARE LUCKY, SOME ARE
NOT.
BUT IF YOU THINK IT, WANT IT,
DREAM IT,
THEN ITS REAL
YOU ARE WHAT YOU FEEL.
BUT ALL THAT I SAY CAN BE
TOLD ANOTHER WAY.
IN THE STORY OF A BOY
WHOSE DREAMS CAME TRUE.
AND IT COULD BE YOU.

BOWING DOWN BEFORE MY

WHY.
COULD IT BE THAT I WAS

THE DREAMS OF OUR DEAR

HIS TALK OF STARS AND
GOLDEN SHEAVES IS JUST A
LOAD OF CORN.
