[Verse 1]
“Thanks for the meal,”
“That was delicious,”
My wife said.
“Now, let’s clean up,” I said.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
“Do you have any dreams for the future?” She asked.
“To eat delicious food,” I said, washing the dishes.
[Chorus 1]
Dream big
The first step is small.
Take it easy.
Don’t give up.
[Verse 2]
“Boys, be ambitious.”
She shook her fist.
“I’m not a boy anymore.”
“I’m not even ambitious.”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
“Build a warm and caring family,” I said, wiping the dishes.
“You’ve already built one,” she said, putting the dishes away.
[Chorus 2]
Dream big
The first step is small.
Take it easy.
Don’t give up.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
“It’s a long-term plan,” she said.
“Create a new future for yourself.”
“The first step is important.”
“What will you do?” She asked.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
“You might be a doctor or a minister in the future,” she said.
“Hmm, now?” I replied, tilting my head.
[Chorus 3]
Dream big
The first step is small.
Take it easy.
Don’t give up.
[Bridge]
“Here you go,” she said, handing me a flyer.
It offered discounted English conversation classes.
[Final Chorus 3]
Dream big
The first step is small.
Take it easy.
Don’t give up.
