what do i believe about myself? about you? about the world? about what you + i may be capable of doing... i don't think about that enough.
am i waiting for someone else to believe it first?
Believe, that you can change the world
Your dreams, have been living in a code of silence
So let them out
Find your voice, find your voice
Make a noise
i don't believe that message enough. i don't live it enough. i don't proclaim it enough.
i have many dreams and sometimes my many dreams collide and intersect and knot together into one giant ball... and i get frustrated and i sulk and i remain silent.
perhaps what i am missing is that all of my many dreams are connected and intertwined and knotted for a reason because my many individual dreams are actually part of one giant dream... one giant plan that has been laid out before me. but my eyes are closed and i don't see that.
am i waiting for validation?
You try, to find the words you want to say
You might, be looking much too far away
To recognize, we’re all disguised
Find your voice, find your voice
Make a noise
and these dreams of mine, my many dreams, tend to silence me in the sense that they don't go public. they remain within my soul or at least within my home (where my wife gets to put up with my repetitive bantering about this dream or that).
but maybe all i'm missing is a megaphone and some courage.
am i waiting for permission?
You can’t have the peace you’re looking for without a fight
who said anything about a fight? but apparently things don't just happen, dreams don't happen, don't come true, can't be lived out... without... a... fight.
but why would i want to go and do a thing like that? why would i want to fight?
maybe because i'm 37 years old and i'm most fearful that my time to do something meaningful and productive and beyond what i am now capable of doing may be fading.
i don't want to have lived my life and have thought - how many years did i waste doing this or doing that, attending this or attending that, unfulfilled, not near the point of my full potential.
what am i waiting for?
Find your voice, find your voice
Make a noise
can i muster enough courage to make some noise? have i found my voice? have i discovered how my intersected dreams can work together, united as one? i don't believe i have. but i think i am inspired to put more time, more energy into figuring that out.
because i think i know deep down that God has something on the horizon for me that just... might... blow... me... away. i think that about you, too.
find your voice. grab a megaphone. you can be in my dream if i can be in yours.

Good stuff, bro. It was like reading my own words. I'm almost certain there are a whole host of mid-30-somethings that hold the same fears and are asking the same questions. I am one of them.
And deal on the dream thing! Keep me updated. Praying for you, with eyes focused on our shared source of Light.
