Your dreams sustain you as you
Seek to improve things beyond your reach.
You dream of love and happiness
Which all of us hope to find.
I often rush into things
Without much foresight,
And usually end up as a fool.
We two should make a fine pair
As we try to avoid the strict rules
Of the society in which we live.
We are both unable, or simply unwilling,
To accept the realities which
Appear before us from day to day.
Instead, we try to shape our lives
So that they are more comfortable
For the dreamer and the fool.
