What Did Neil Armstrong Find?
‘Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon, ...’
What did Neil Armstrong find?
When he became the first man to
Walk upon the surface of the moon?
Cow bones. Asphyxiation. No oxygen.
To jump so high so high to die lonely alone.
Dreamers must always chase impossible dreams.
Dreams like pie in the sky gold at end of rainbow.
To jump to the moon
is easier than
climbing to the starry sun.
We burned in the climb
burned when getting
close to the starry sun.
We did not use feathers
attached with wax
wax did not melt
releasing feather by feather.
We did not fall from
flying to close to the sun
we did not crash and burn
plummeting downward to die.
We climbed so close to the sun
we burned burned into spontaneous
combustion body engulfed inflamed
ash pyre rain rebirth as new phoenix.
Dreams dreams are mirror of immortality
dreams dreams of aspiring impossibility
dreams refusing to die perpetually renewing
dream spun eventually into impossible attainment.
God inspired dreams mirror origin creator
flesh bound woven in clay seeks original origin.
God the great eternal scientist, humanity studies
your creation, mimics discoveries written observed.
‘The little dog laughed to see such sport, ...’
Dogs often laugh at dreamers bite their heels
thinking it fun to worry upon bones of impossibility
never learning from past lessons time ultimately taught.
The impossible of yesterday so common place today
dogs enjoy flights in the sky forgetting this giant
bone of contention for centuries could not in sky fly
dogs sit yapping in plush seats poking fun at new bones.
‘And the dish ran away with the spoon.’
Such an impossible marriage not condoned
by society they are so unsuited impossible match
unity of dream purpose makes for strange bed mates.
Knowledge inventions so often produce impossible
marriages of ideas thoughts creativity technology
that cannot attain harmony unity completion defy laws
of gravity bumblebee flies on tiny wings using back-draft.

Reality Check
‘Hey Diddle Diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon...’
So what did Neil Armstrong find?
When he walked on the moon?
Cow bones! Asphyxiation! No oxygen!
The cow died!
News flash!
A discovery of lunar proportions!
What you never heard?
Must be...?
Another conspiracy theory...

The Legacy Of A Dreamer
Someone said that I’m a dreamer,
And if that’s really true—
I’d like to dream the kind of dreams
That few dreamers do.
I would dream the fairest dream—
One that I could share
With rich, poor and so much more
Of people everywhere.
I would dream constructive dreams,
With new ideas on which to build—
Accomplishing elaborate schemes,
By labor and by will.
I would dream impossible dreams
And diligently pursue.
And I would work tenaciously
To make those dreams come true.
I’d dream away the hurt and pain
That sin has caused us all.
I’d dream away the clouds and rain
That linger from the fall.
I’d dream lofty, noble dreams
With aims and goals set high,
And strive to fulfill each dream
Before THE DREAMER dies.

In Dreams (Life Poem)
In dreams we feel the impossible is easy
In dreams we flee the burdens of this life
In dreams we fly to worlds that don’t exist
In dreams we find the love that cannot be
In dreams we follow a path that never ends
In dreams we fall forever in a nightmare chase.
In dreams we live the jumbled fragments of our lives.

Impossible
If they had ever told me how sweet a kiss could be
I would have said impossible, impossible for me
And if they said Id find you beyond the rainbows end
I would have said impossible, impossible, my friend
To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems Im living in
A dream too beautiful to be
If they had said a moonbeam could calm a stormy sea
I would have said impossible but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me
I would have said impossible but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me

Dreams
Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, its never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before
But now Im feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person fumbling here is me
A different way to be
I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
Theyll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
Now I tell you openly
You have my heart so dont hurt me
For what I couldnt find
Talk to me amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
Youre everything to me
Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, its never quite as it seems
cause youre a dream to me
Dream to me

In Dreams
Roy orbison
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep. everything is all right.
I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayerlike dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.
In dreams I walk with you. in dreams I talk to you.
In dreams youre mine. all of the time were together
In dreams, in dreams.
But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I cant help it, I cant help it, if I cry.
I remember that you said goodbye.
Its too bad that all these things, can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams in beautiful dreams.

Dreams
Written: kylie minogue/ steve anderson/ david seaman
To have any man but to love only one
To wake with the moon and sleep with the sun
To be a sinner a saint, a lover and friend
To know a beginning but never an end
To fly in the ocean, swim in the skys
Believer in truth, defendant of lies
To be of purest love, the deepest pain
To be lost and found again and again and again
These are the dreams
Of an impossible princess
To know the power of wealth and poverty
To taste every moment and try everything
To be hailed as a hero, branded a fool
Believe in the sacred and break every rule
To give into pleasure with no boundaries
Living in chaos and harmony
To feel the touch of a man, a womans caress
To know the limits of torture and tenderness
These are the dreams
Of an impossible princess
Man and woman boy and girl
They want to escape this world
(nothings what it seems)
These are the dreams of an impossible princess
Its a way of dealing with all the feeling
Keep believing in dreams

Flights Of Impossibility
bumble bees fly upon wings impossible
black yellow fuzzy bodies heavy rise up
helicopters rise up hover off in buzz flight
bumble bees body mind looms large shiny
heavy thought cannot confined be earth bound
wings of hope lift weight impossible to soar
scientists proclaimed your flights impossible
faith was no word transformative to bare load

When You Wish Upon A Star
dreams come true (dreams come true)
dreams come true (oh oh, oh yeah)
dreams come true (na, na na, na na)
they do (they do)
when you (when you)...
When you wish upon a star, (a star,) makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you (it will come to you)
If your heart is in your dreams, (your dreams) no request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do (ooh ooh).
(Oh, Fate is...is kind...)Fate is kind, she brings (she brings) to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
(oh oh oh. like...) Like a boat out of the blue, Fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dream comes true
When you wish upon a star, your dream comes true
dreams come, dreams come, dreams come true
dreams come, dreams come, dreams come true
(and they don't stop) dreams come, dreams come, dreams come true
(make a wish and) dreams come, (your dreams...) dreams come, (your dreams come...) dreams come true

Dream
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
La

I want more (impossible to ignore)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)

You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Do You Believe In Imagination?
Do you believe in imagination?
That makes you sore across the sky
Do you believe in make believe
Where you can be a Hero or a spy
Do you think you can show the world?
And make them understand your dreams
Do they wait in baited breath?
To hear your muse your fantasy
Do they look upon your face?
And see the ecstasy
That lies for every in your dreams
Dormant to be free
You think, and then sigh
Oh no not I
It’s impossible to dream
But then they tap upon your door
Asking please share all your dreams
You smile and think
It’s time to bare
Your inner truer being

High Diddle Diddle
High diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jump'd over the moon;
The little dog laugh'd
To see such craft,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

A Vivid Dream
They say one can control their dreams
something that I can scheme
and dream about
one night my mind took a different route
I did the impossible
the improbable
I dreamed a vivid dream
Through determination
I lucidly dreamed of my own nation
an island off the coast
that was tropical
the sun was hot enough to
melt a Popsicle in seconds
it burned the whole island up
in fire the water didn't even help
The dream was so real
I could have sworn I would die
but it was all a dream
because before i awoke
the dream said 'nice try.'

Here I Go Impossible Again
How many dreams am I looking for in your eyes, in your eyes
Ooh baby bet it seems that you're reaching down, all alone, on your own
Dreams are emotion baby, you know you gotta try
How am I supposed to know what's in your head, what's on your mind
I'm searching for your love that's in your heart I need it
Here I go impossible again
Should I hold you close to keep the night from ending
I know I put you on a pedestal in my eyes, in my eyes
I don't like it when you put me down 'cause it hurts, yeah it hurts
Win some and lose some baby, you know you gotta try
I feel it my heart and in my soul and through my veins
Falling from my lips three little words 'I love you'
Here I go impossible again
Should I hold you close to keep the night from ending
Dive into the ocean baby you know you gotta try
How am I supposed to know what's in your head, what's on your mind
I'm searching for your love that's in your heart I need it
Here I go impossible again
Should I hold you close to keep the night from ending
Here I go impossible again
Should I hold you close to keep the night from ending

Dreamz
what is a dream if you cant achieve it
what is a dream if you dont believe it
i want my dreams to all come true
i want my dreams to be shared with you
a dream is a place of magical things
a dream is a place where bluebirds sing
all our dreams we are longing for
a dream of you that i adore
why is dreams all filled with joy
when after a dream it is destroyed
why is dreams of something we cant have
when we dream of the things we once had
dreams come with so many meanings
happy and sad so many feelings
so why do we dream if it hurts inside
when we watch our dreams all fade and die
if i was a dream id fly away
id dream of happiness and make it stay
what is a dream with no ending
why do dreams start descending
what is a dream that aint complete
why are dreams so discreet
dreams are full of many things
dreams are full of true feelings
believe in dreams and youll succeed
believe in dreams yes i do indeed

Some Dreames Come True
written by: D. Peterson/W. Igleheart
##Main Voice: Debbi
I've seen the shadows fall
Colors that fade on my wall
Dressed up nowhere to go
It's all in my mind I know
But it's alright now
We're on our way
Lay me down in the moonlight
So close to you
maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true
Lips move but not a sound
When the words fall to the ground
eyes watch but seldom see
the possibilities
But it's alright now
We're on our way
Lay me down in the moonlight
So close to you
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true
When we're together
There's nothing we can't do
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true
Moving in circles that we create
Seeing whatever we choose
Hear only voices that call your name

O heavens, heavens, see you in my dreams
O heavens, heavens, see you in my dreams!
It is impossible -- you had become so blind,
And day was burned as if a page -- to rims:
Some smoke and ashes, one could later find.

My Lullaby (Song)
Close your eyes
Go to sleep.
Find your soul
In arms I'll keep
Dream you Little dark Dream
In your eyes
There's a glow
See your dreams
Now you know
Dream you Little dark Dreams
See your dreams
Come alive
Watch them dance
Through your eyes
Dream you Little dark Dreams
Coming now into eternal
Slumber, Sleep your Life's infernal
Lies called dreams within our sorrow
Never waking for tomorrow
Bow your head
Lay on down
Wipe your tears
Do not frown
Dream Dream Dream Dream Dream Dream
Dream you Little dark Dreams
Tonight.

Artist Dreaming
Close your eyes baby
Off to sleep.
Find your soul
In God’s arms to keep
Dream your dreams
In your eyes
There's a glow
See your dreams
Live your Dreams
Now you know
See them come alive
Watch them dance
Through your eyes
Dream your Dreams
Coming now into focus
Dream your dream of art
Dreams with passion to create
Never waking from its light
Lift your head
Never lay it down
Create your dreams
Paint it, live it, embrace it
Dream what you are
Dream it true
Tonight the dreams are all for you
