Do You Believe You Have a Hidden Destiny?

Hidden Dreams (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]

A dream it inches in the wind

Not knowing the way it flies

It finds a place for tired wings

Then left alone it dies

[Verse 2]

It leaves the nest for a flight unseen

Aiming for a bright moon beam

Tired, it struggles to maintain

Then rests upon the land again

[Bridge]

Never to be seen within

Until that day, one day when

The wind sweeps down and lifts the dream

To a place it will be seen

[Chorus]

It teaches it to fly again

Without the power of the wind

Now the dream floats freely on its own

And finds its rightful place, its home

The dream was always meant to be

Waiting for discovery

Flying without the wind, it’s free

Knowing purpose drove its destiny

It led a soul to feel complete

HIDDEN DREAMS CAN SOMETIMES BE (Poem Version)

A dream it inches in the wind

not knowing the way it flies

it finds a place for tired wings

then left alone it dies

never to be seen again

until that time

one day when

the wind swoops down

and lifts the dream

to a place it will be seen

It teaches it to fly again

without the power of the wind

Now the dream floats freely

on its own

and finds its rightful place

it’s home

a place for all the world to see

that hidden dreams

can sometimes be

what drives a soul

a destiny

Story Behind The Creation of These Lyrics and the Poem:

Hidden Dreams began as a poem I wrote back in 2009, sparked by a moment that caught me completely off guard. I had just watched Susan Boyle’s first appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, and what moved me wasn’t only her voice — it was the realization that she had carried that gift quietly for most of her life, unseen, waiting for the moment it would finally be revealed.

Sometimes inspiration doesn’t come from within, but from witnessing something that shifts the way you see the world. That performance made me think about how many people move through life holding something deep inside themselves — a talent, a calling, a purpose, or a dream — never quite knowing if or when it will have its moment.

That reflection planted the seed for this piece.

The poem, originally titled Hidden Dreams Can Sometimes Be, explores destiny through the image of a dream learning how to fly. In the lyrics, the dream moves cautiously, nudged along by the wind, uncertain of where it belongs. When it remains unseen, it weakens and fades. But once circumstances bring it into the open — once it is finally visible — the dream no longer depends on anything else to keep it afloat. It discovers its own wings.

That turning point reflects something many of us understand intuitively: when a hidden dream is finally acknowledged, it no longer needs permission or encouragement to exist. Being seen changes everything. What was once fragile becomes free.

Hidden Dreams is about the quiet possibilities we carry — sometimes for years, sometimes for a lifetime — until the right moment allows them to rise. It’s about trust, timing, and the belief that purpose doesn’t vanish just because it remains hidden. When the moment arrives, a dream can finally step into the light… and find where it belongs.

Thank you for listening, and for honoring the hidden dreams you carry with you.
