A Dream Deferred

Leaving the books He took a chance Packed his bags and started to dance Said goodbye to lectures and tests Ready to give it his very best From the classrooms to the city's lights He left it all for dreams shining bright America called with opportunities untold Leaving behind a story yet to unfold Working hard Day and night To send back earnings Shining so bright For his family He sacrificed his dreams Hoping they'll bloom across the seas Working hard Day and night To send back earnings Shining so bright For his family He sacrificed his dreams Hoping they'll bloom across the seas From hometown streets to distant shores He chased ambitions, opened doors In the land of promise, he took flight Trading darkness for a guiding light Working hard Day and night To send back earnings Shining so bright For his family He sacrificed his dreams Hoping they'll bloom across the seas
