The Duality of Life



Dreams and reality, two sides of the same coin
One a world of endless possibility
The other, the harsh truth of reality

Dreams are where we dare to soar
Where we can be anyone we want to be
Where anything is possible, the sky's the limit
And our hearts are free

But reality is where we truly live
Where our feet must touch the ground
Where we face the struggles and the strife
And our hearts are bound

But in this duality of life
There's a balance that we must find
For dreams keep us alive
And reality helps us unwind

So hold tight to your dreams
And never let them go
For in reality, they hold the keys
To the life you've always known

For dreams and reality, they coexist
In a beautiful harmony
Creating the tapestry of life
And the story we all will see
