Dream Big

While I was away having a grand ol time this weekend, trying to forget my troubles, Buckethead (of The Ministry of Minor Perfidy) has been trying to put together this week's Carnival of Music...

After finding what I believe could be friends for life this weekend, I think this little inspirational ditty is a more than appropriate submission from me. Because you never know what you minght find behind just a little hope and a prayer ... or a leap of faith, if you will ... I know I sure didn't see it comin ...

See the "Dream Big" video (not firefox friendly)

When you cry, be sure to dry your eyes,
'Cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile, be sure to smile wide,
And don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
And don't show the hurt inside,
Because the pain will soon be gone.

(Chorus)
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.

And when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
And it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on,
But when the troubles come your way.

(Chorus)
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
when you dream, dream big.

(Dream big.)
(Dream big.)

And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty
all around and in yourself, and it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to
help to carry on when the troubles come your way.

And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
when you dream, dream big.

And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
when you dream, dream big.

Funny, I have this same song on my iPod Shuffle, even, not just the big iPod that holds it all. It even hit my top list for a while.

Great meeting you this weekend. I've got presents for you, too.

You probably didn't want me to follow you home, but I did anyway. That song really did remind me of last weekend. The weather, the company, the fun, hell, the whole deal.

It was truely nice to meat you.
