The Quiet Beginning

When a goal is in its infancy

There is no one taking fancy

To give it a standing ovation

Let alone to hail the mission

When the castle is only a foundation

There's no one standing at attention

Looking at it with admiring eyes

Awe stuck at its grandioseness

When the idea is just an idea

Only you care and hold it dear

And spare time to treat it as real

No one thinks it is that big a deal

When it is only a distant dream

Only you do hold the faith firm

Knowing that surely it will glow 

It's only you who ever say, 'wow!'

When the foundation, dream and idea 

Finally become a towering skyscraper 

The world looks up and say, 'hail!'

Finally, you get there after the sail
