Let me dream, let me drift away,
let me fall into slumber and dream this dream away.

As I lay my tired soul, I close my eyes and see
there's a moment when fear and sorrow lead me to a dream.
I will no longer feel pain, your chains no longer bind my feet,
darkness dies in the light in the place that brings me peace.

Let me dream, let me drift away,
let me fall into slumber and dream this dream away.
You too can join me there just close your eyes,
allow the fear to lead the way into a better life.

Let me drift like leaves in the ocean as you call out to me,
I drift farther and farther away,
the person I was, the person I have become,
so much I had to learn, so much is left undone.

Let me rest my tired eyes and greet another day,
there's no better time or place to finally drift away.

Let me dream, let me drift away,
let me fall into slumber and dream this dream away.

The same vision over and over again
In my dream  I saw
The same foreign girl about five years old
Walking up the stairs heading to the roof

I have cold sweats when I am awake in fear..
Was it the girl? Was it her weird mask?
Terribly disturbing my life.. . constantly awake
Too scared to fall asleep...

She hides he face in a horrible looking mask
Perhaps her face is just as dreadful
She appears in my dream every day and night
Perhaps to tell me who the real girl behind the mask
