Cover of the DreamTotal Recall

"I saw a bodybuilding magazine, and on the cover it said""How Reg Park, Mr. Universe, became the Hercules star" Flippin' through the paper pages, ink and aspiration mixed A single image, frozen, timeless, the universe was fixed Not some random strongman, nah, a vision sharp and clear A titan on the cover, banishing all doubt and fear Reg Park as Hercules, a legend cast in light A roadmap from the misty isles to Hollywood's great height Each muscle was a sentence, every sinew was a line A scripture for a young boy's soul, a destiny divine This wasn't just a picture, this was prophecy foretold A story of a kingdom built from iron, brave and bold The cover of the dream, a blueprint for the climb Bodybuilding, then America, transcending space and time A vision in the ink that lit a burning spark It wasn't 'if' but 'when,' I'd rise and make my mark"I read that and said to myself, Wow!""This is the blueprint" I saw the path laid out for me, a ladder to the sun Each title, every trophy, was a battle to be won First Mr. Universe, like Reg, a record I would break Then cross the sea to where the cinematic fortunes they would make He did it, so I knew I could, no question in my mind A special kind of certainty, the rarest thing to find The boys in Thal were chasing girls, or kicking balls in fields I was chasing down a phantom, with ambition as my shield That magazine my bible, every workout was a prayer Building up the faith to go from here to over there The cover of the dream, a blueprint for the climb Bodybuilding, then America, transcending space and time A vision in the ink that lit a burning spark It wasn't 'if' but 'when,' I'd rise and make my mark.
