Desire, Innocence, Love and Elijah Wood.

A dream is a wish your heart makes When you’re fast asleep In dreams you will lose your heartaches Whatever you wish for, you keep Have faith in your dreams and someday Your rainbow will come smiling through No matter how your heart is grieving If you keep on believing the dream that you wish ...
