Why Not
There are those who say to you,
Why stray from the beaten path,
Why chase your dreams beyond all boundaries,
Why reach for the sky and higher,
Why believe in fairy tales,
Why follow your heart past science and fact,
Why have faith in miracles,
Why dare to fly when others crawl,
Why read between the lines,
Why look for light within the shadows,
Why wish upon a star,
Why hope for the impossible,
Why trust a soul more than a face,
Why wander if you are not lost,
Why try to coax a fire from ashes,
And now I say,
Why not?
