Daring to Dream

This is a song I wrote in my time with Jesus while I was in Virginia. It sums up a lot about learning to just follow Jesus and not everyone else. I didn't have a piano near me, so I haven't even started on any music for it, but I wanted to share the lyrics:

Daring to Dream
  
Verse 1:
I could blame it on everyone I know
All the expectations people put on me
I could blame it on myself, it's true
All the expectations I trapped myself in 

Pre-chorus:
How many have stopped dreaming, 
Because it's just not realistic?
And how many have thrown out,
Every vision and desire You've given?

Chorus:
I'm so tired of being bound to the ground
I'm throwing off every chain
I'm breaking free, I want to fly
I'm daring to dream again


Verse 2:
I put You in a box for way too long
Didn't see a way to make it through
Threw out every passion I ever had
To settle for a reality I never wanted


Verse 3:
Instead of following You, I followed after
Every expectation, wandering aimlessly
And I've had way too much of going nowhere
So I'm done with every expectation

Bridge:
I'm trading all I am for all of You
I'm free....... Daring to dream again

I loved the song when you showed it to me fresh off the press and I still love it. It shows off your passion for Him. That's one of my favorite parts about you. :D
