Dreams

Sitting by my window
watching the lightning strike
and the winds blow through trees.
Just thinking, and thinking
about whats beyond these walls
Whats out of this town
through the glass wall that surrounds me.

You read the books about dreams coming true
see the movies about bigger things than this.
I don't wanna be the girl who never makes it out of town.
My dreams will make headlines
not a small rumor in a small town.

iIn my head I see big cities and runways
i've always had those big city dreams
of flashing lights, high heels, and too tight dresses
moving down the runway feeling the beat of the music,
stepping with the flash of light,
and knowing you have to work the dress right.

But in the end im still heresitting by my window
watching lightning strike
pretending, its all those flashing lights
and the wind is just the music
keeping the beat.
