Follow Your Dreams

Linsey

Emily-Jane wants to be a pop star

Though her dreams are so far

When people laugh, her feelings get down

Her dazzling smile replaced with a frown

Emily-Jane has this dream every night

She's standing on stage, singing all her might

Selling Platinum Records, being Number One

Then she wakes up and the dream is done

Emily-Jane's mum holds her tight

"Never give up babe, all right?"

She listens to her mother's kind voice

Now's the time for her to make her choice

Emily-Jane joins the school choir

Her hopes get higher and higher

The choir teachers say she is great

She had no reason to be afraid

Emily-Jane followed her dream

Now all she does is beam

The little girl is now a huge star

But her mother's words are never too far

The moral of this story is never stop dreaming

Don't tear out your hair, don't start screaming

Although it's as hard as it seems

Just Follow Your Dreams

追随梦想

林赛

艾米丽·简梦想成为明星，

尽管梦想如此遥远。

她受到嘲笑，于是情绪低落，

灿烂的笑容凋零，眉头紧蹙。

艾米丽·简夜夜把梦做，

站在舞台上，纵情高歌，

出售白金唱片，名列榜首，

醒来之时，美梦已无踪影。

艾米丽·简的妈妈紧紧抱住她：

“孩子，不要放弃，好吗?”

她听着母亲亲切的话语，

立即就把决心下。

艾米丽·简加入学校合唱团，

志向越来越高远，

老师表扬她真棒，

而她敢做又敢想。

艾米丽·简紧紧追逐着梦想，

现在得到的是喜悦。

小女孩成了大明星，

母亲的话音还没走远。

这个故事的寓意在于不要放弃梦想，

尽管追梦看起来很艰难，

不要扯下头发，不要开始尖叫，

努力追寻梦想。
