They don't understand,
They never will

When you're a kid,
You have crazy dreams,
Some may be almost impossible,
But we dream big,
Because we know what they don't know
We know that for you to get anywhere near your dreams,
You need to create be biggest goal for yourself
If you shoot for the top,
You may not make it there,
But you will make it somewhere awesome
How true this is

Well I don't need to tell you that being a kid is very different from being an adult, and that's why being a kid is so awesome because it lasts for so little, when adulthood you could consider lasts for the rest of your life.

A kid's view is very different from a grown up one, and that's why they often don't understand each other, and it even might look like the kid is in another world, or even a world of his own, because it might very well be true. I really like the start to be like that as it poses the foundations for everything else that's going to come.

When you're a kid you have crazy dreams, that nobody can deny, because you're not blocked by the view of the world, and things that can't be done, that's also why I think some companies nowadays try to make their creative people regress so that they can be well, more creative.
Some may be almost impossible, but we dream big. Most geniuses of this century became famous because they tried to do something that everyone else was telling them was impossible, but they did it anyway, so the best way to solve a problem is not to think how difficult or impossible it is, but how can I solve it? The poem really makes me think of someone building a house, the natural progression that it's taking, is just perfect, starting from the ground and going up bit by bit, by explaining each part very simply and effectively.
Because we know what they don't, that's a powerful sentence, that makes me think that we don't necessarily forget what we where before, but we just evolve, and everything that was past is buried in some corner of our brain waiting for it to go up again.
We know that for you to get anywhere near your dreams you need to create the biggest goal for yourself. That's just like when you're negotiating, you will give a very high price so that when the other party wants to bargain and brings it down, it's still higher than if you had started with a lower price. That's again something everyone can understand and to make people understand your message you need to make it understandable. I really believe in this, some poems might be very nicely done, but after reading it you don't really know what the author wanted to say, or what it was all about, and that for me is a failed poem.
If you shoot for the top you might make it there, so it just emphasize the previous two sentences. They're very important, I would even say at the core of the poem. Because it's important to have a dream, but it's even more important to make it a reality. The last sentence, brings everything in perspective and bring the poem to a beautiful end, meaning that even if you don't achieve your dream, you might still achieve something beautiful.
