dreamhigh

Dream are just the beginning of every story
You cant give up
You must see what you did wrong
You have to try to improve yourself
You can eventually work your way to the top
If you do that, this story is yours
Your story is a long way from being over
You should´nt worry that you´re not going fast enough
If you take your time, you can appreciate the things around you
So fly with your Dream !!!
