What do I do to make all my dreams come true?

I grab a pen and I start with an A

I think about B and wonder what happen with C and D

Then I’ll finish everything with a Z

What do I do to make all my dreams come true?

I grab a paper and I draw a question mark

I paint an exclamation point and blow it with the wind

I’ll count every comma without any doubt

Until I’m ready to put a full stop

What do I do to make all my dreams come true?

Maybe only heaven that knew
