Inspired

Remember what was once a great empire,
That had crumbled to the dust,
We say is larger than our dreams,
But our dreams were built by us.
We built those empires,
And tore them down,
Stone by stone,
And now they're found.
Don't you feel inspired?
By what others have done?
And don't you aspire?
To become twice the person you've become?
And there are your plans,
All laid out,
Until the kiss of reality,
Scatters them to the wind,
And you thirst for love,
But die of the drought.
We want to start anew,
To do something bold.
And you think everything's already been done,
But every story has not yet been told.
And don't you feel inspired?
By what others have done?
And don't you aspire?
To become twice the person they've become?
