this is the problem: i mean to say i stayed up to live this long.
i dreamed once. i dreamed once. i dreamed once.
i dreamed once. i dreamed once. i dreamed once.
this is the problem: we wanted just what every one else had.
i dreamed once. i dreamed once. i dreamed once.
i dreamed once. i dreamed once. i dreamed once.
this is the problem: we thought the air was a country.
i dreamed once. i dreamed once. i dreamed once.
i dreamed once. i dreamed once. i dreamed once.
this is the problem: we thought the trees were a country.

i dreamed once. i dreamed once. i dreamed once.
this is the problem: we thought it was safe to surf light in water.

this is the problem:
every man will pay to death the price for his dream.
