"When Hands Make Dreams (Own Your Roar)" is an uplifting and empowering ballad celebrating strength, purpose, and our ability to shape dreams and inspire others. Although initially intended as a Mother's Day anthem, I have realized it has a universal appeal. It's incredible how a set of lyrics can evolve into something completely different.

When Hands Make Dreams (Own Your Roar) by Gloria Buono-Daly © 2024 (Verse 1) When Hands Make dreams, Keep moving through shifting sands. All you do, all you are — you shine. In all you touch, you soar, divine. Now own your voice — let it roar in time. OWN YOUR VOICE. (Pre-Chorus) WE ALL MOVE … WE ALL FALL… Silence speaks — says it all. Deep in your soul, Always light, Let your hands lead — make the dream ignite… Woooo ...wooo … (Chorus) More Than A LION… Pure wild joy… Love survives — OWN YOUR ROAR… Louder than before… OWN YOUR ROAR… ( Verse 2) Through thunder’s grip, Pen our story… Fierce and free... HEARTS ABLAZE, WE SOAR. Through storms, we find our way, OWN YOUR VOICE. ( Pre-Chorus) WE ALL MOVE … WE ALL FALL… Silence speaks — says it all. Deep in your soul, Always light, Let your hands lead — make the dream ignite… Wooooooo… Wooooooo… ( Chorus) More than a lion… Pure wild joy… Love survives — OWN YOUR ROAR… Louder than before… OWN YOUR ROAR… Woooooah yeahhh… ( Bridge) Hold on tight — Don’t chase regrets Even dark… we find light. No regrets, just pure and raw, You’re so much more… Ohhhhh yes, you are… YOU OWN YOUR VOICE … Forever sing — you’re so much more. OWN YOUR VOICE, More Than A LION… OWN YOUR ROAR… ( Final Chorus 1) Every story has villains, Your truth won’t erase. They push, we rise – hearts on fire, Heroes move by love’s desire… Spread the light… OWN YOUR VOICE… Rise and fight… OWN YOUR VOICE… (Final Chorus 2) More Than A LION… Pure wild joy, Love survives — OWN YOUR ROAR… Louder than before… OWN YOUR ROAR (Outro) Let’s hold hands — float unseen, Like fireflies chasing dreams. Hands become our meaning, Threading dreams through every seam — We are more than what we seem. A quiet strength behind your eyes, Your voice, your hands, your love — it flies… You’re more than light… YOU OWN YOUR ROAR Own your voice… let it roar in time Forever sing – you’re so much more. OWN YOUR VOICE, More Than A LION… OWN YOUR ROAR… OWN YOUR ROAR… ..., More Than A LION… OWN YOUR ROAR… OWN YOUR ROAR… Woooooo… let it fly… (softly fades) (instrumental fade out) (end of song) (Outro2) Lift your hands, higher than the sky… You don’t need gold, just your why… Lift your head, higher than your wings… You don’t need things, keep your core… *(INSTRUMENTAL)* Your hands hold light… let that dream ignite… Forever shine — you’re so much more. When hands make dreams, the world moves on… OWN YOUR ROAR… OWN YOUR ROAR… … When hands make dreams… OWN YOUR ROAR… OWN YOUR ROAR… Woooooo… let it fly… (softly fades) (instrumental fade out) (end of song)

Reminds me of Helen Reddy's, I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar, but applies to anyone who wants to break free with their talent. Once again, wonderful lyrics and appropriate rhymes.

I have often started a poem one way and it ended up another. Especially, when I try to write a nonsense poem once in a while just to break up the tenseness. Either I start turning it into making sense or readers, reading the nonsense, come to some conclusion I hadn't even thought of.
