I opened my eyes and wiped away the sleep
I had just awoke from a terrible dream
I looked around and saw nothing but sky
I found myself on a bed of white
How did I get here? I do not know
But a feeling inside assured me I was home
A bird flew by and looked confused
He asked "What are you doing here? The sky is not for you."
I said I didn't know, I just woke up in this place
And without another word he just flew away
I laid there in wonder unsure of what was next
Am I stuck here forever? Is this my end?
And then a voice spoke, softly but sure
It said "This is where your head's been for what some would call years."
I didn't understand, what could that mean?
Is this real? Am I still in a dream?
I sat straight up on top of this cloud
Where did that voice come from?
I was the only soul around
I heard nothing but wind in the air
Consumed by nothing my mind went bare
Suddenly I felt something was horribly wrong
The cloud that was under me had broken and gone
The sky went dark and the voice spoke again
"Don't worry dear, this is not the end
I am you, you're not going insane."
And slowly I fell along with the rain


I opened my eyes and wiped away the sleep
I finally awoke from all of my dreams
