Following Our Dreams

Lyrics posted with permission of the author

All over this world there are people who yearn
For stories of how it could be
For us and our kind as the centuries turn
All of the wonders we'll see

They read and collect all the books for their own
Cast episodes to the TV
Catch every movie however it's shown
Thus, do their spirits soar free

They are following the future
Following their dreams
Fables spun of tomorrows to come
With many things yet to be seen

If you would go where these devotees go
There's plenty of room for you there
Soon you could know all the thrills that they know
Imagine it too if you dare

For then you will find you've discovered a place
Amazing, enchanting and rare
That's filled with the magic of infinite space
Breathtaking visions to share

You are following the future
Following your dreams
Fables spun of tomorrows to come
With many things yet to be seen

Once you have chosen to step through that door
It's there that your heart will now dwell
Like so many others who've come there before
Including this singer as well

While all of our troubles just vanish away
Whenever we're under its spell
The universe beckons; we're leaving today
For Dune or for Pern or for Pell

We are following the future
Following our dreams
Fables spun of tomorrows to come
With many things yet to be seen

Yes, we're following the future
Following our dreams
Fables spun of tomorrows to come
With many things yet to be seen
