	Story Behind the Song I once met a lady who told that as a child her greatest dream was to be a dancer and how she began the pursuit of that goal only to let it go due to the opinions of others. In my life I have met so many disenchanted and unfulfilled people who have let go not only of their dreams but have lost a piece of their "spirit" in the process. They have lost themselves and are living a life going through the motions and feeling empty inside. It is so sad to me to see this loss of innocence and hope. This song is my way of reaching out and saying that these dreams deserve to be honored and that I hope you can reclaim a part of yourselves by reaching for that pure innocent vision you once had. .....reach for those stars that beckon to you. Lyrics TORN & TATTERED Written & produced by Leila & Reggie Turner (c) 2002 * Recorded by Leila (Verse 1) Torn & tattered slippers dreams now hanging on her wall visions of the future others wouldn’t see at all she struggled to convince them but she wasn’t strong and now she sits and stares at memories on her wall (Verse 2) Deep within his system nurturing a special goal dreaming with conviction sparked by fire in his soul their fears fought to control him and he built a wall I guess it wasn’t meant to happen after all (Chorus) Our dreams never really go away when hope isn’t scared by what they say there’s never a moment in our lives we don’t want to see them realize it’s true that the years can ease the pain but our lives without them just aren’t the same inside you a child that fights to survive is pleading with you to keep them alive (Verse 3) Can you see them walking figures in the distant light going through the motions always saying what is right their faces look familiar and you realize you recognize their emptiness inside your eyes (Repeat Chorus)
