Precious Heart Determined
Outside is a smile
That seems simple and content
Maybe a little bit undecided
And even maybe unsure
And the dreams that are spoken of
Are passed off as merely whimsical fancy
That are just a thought to be forgotten in a moment
But lo, look deeper
Inside is a precious heart determined
It knows that the people don’t believe in the dream
It knows yet it stays the course
Determined to be a dream weaver
Determined to be a believer
And not stop until the people all stop and turn
And take another look into the smile
And find it complex and unsatisfied
And knowing exactly what it wants
And how to get it
Then maybe they will take more seriously
The precious heart determined
