Live The Dream

The title track of Scott's 2001 CD is a moving inspirational ballad. Live The Dream questions some of the basic reasons that our dreams go unfulfilled. From society's expectations, to money and success, to our own fears of failure, this piece both criticizes and offers words of hope. This is the first song on the CD that introduces Scott's instrumental talents on piano and French Horn.

Live The Dream
(Scott Lindley)

A dream he had to soar majestically into the sky
To pilot on the luring breeze the eagle as his guide
Gliding free above the earth among the rolling clouds
Visioning a life he hoped would make his father proud

But daddy pressed each passing year, the harvest round the bend
Better that the boy would stay, so many fields to tend
Ambitions all his own, the boy he would defend
But he walked along his father's way

As she danced so gracefully across the room
Following her heart, she set in motion to the tune
Such a talent had the girl, so elegant so pure
Such a gift to share with others should not be ignored

But her inner thoughts betrayed her as she grew
And the voice inside her burned, her confidence consumed
Waiting tables now and to herself untrue
And the music sadly drifts away

CHORUS:
Follow you dream, follow your dream
Weather the storms and raging seas
Look straight ahead, go for what you believe
Life is too short, only once chance to live the dream

Colors from the brush would flow across the canvas page
Pouring out his soul onto that white and barren stage
With each stroke he'd grant new life to things his mind had seen
Living out his one true love, his one and only dream

Yet as time went by he felt that money was the key
So he climbed the ladder trying to acheive
And the time to paint, it vanished on the breeze
And the color slowly fades to gray

CHORUS

And the hands of time keep spinning, one more day goes by
As we watch, the sun is setting another chance to try
Deep inside the heart is yearning to keep the dream alive
Don't let it slip another day

CHORUS
