I was reminded last night in a coversation I had while in port getting supplies about how everyone has dreams. It was a very touching moment although no one said any words. In this age of technology there is a certain element that is usually missing, however, feelings can still come through texts and ims. So today I picked a song that is rarely performed except by Parrotheads who have it on their playlists of the 380 some songs Jimmy has written.
Jimmy dreams He's a child to the end What a joy When you are your best friend The world's such a toy If you just stay a boy You just spin it again and again Jimmy flies With no use for disguise Just escapes Using mirrors and capes And the words do the trick There is no bigger kick Than just rhyming again and again Sound of the low tide The smell of the rain Traveling' alone On my boat and my plane Take it all in It's as big as it seems Count all your blessings Remember your dreams Jimmy stares Towards the bright Pleiades It's so strange What his distant eye sees Who knows why you start Rediscovering your heart But you do it again and again Sound of the low tide Smell of the rain Traveling alone On my boat and my plane Take it all in It's as big as it seems Count all your blessings Remember your dreams Jimmy stares Towards the bright Pleiades It's so strange What his distant eye sees Who knows why you start Rediscovering your heart You just do it again and again The world's still a toy If you'll just stay a boy And that's why Jimmy dreams.
No matter how grand or miniscule the dream, everyone shares them, even if it is simply to be left alone. It's amazing how dreams can be so personal and so wrapped in feelings. Take for instance a member of the crew, who opened up to the Captain last night and revealed that his dream is just to go to college. Having heard how much this dream means to him, as his Captain, I am now mustering all my power to make sure this happens.
It's good to have dreams. Dreams are just that. But on those rare occasions that those dreams come true, it is a feeling of absolute bliss, especially when you have had to work to accomplish those dreams. When all hope is lost or circumstances seem to be at their worst, dreams can pull you through.
Without dreams, we wouldn't have Pirates and we wouldn't be searching for that treasure.
