Daydream
Foolish the one who sees the sea
And wants to jump into the sky
But maybe it's those who dare to fall
That aren't afraid to die
Standing on the shore, I'm staring
At reflections rippling by
And I think, if I just touch them
Maybe I could reach the sky
My fingers graze the surface
And my body follows through
Passing through a mirror of ocean
To a world of white and blue
And I grow wings like cloudscapes
Spreading fearless 'cross the skies
Drops of sunlight sparkle brilliantly
A sunset in my eyes
But suddenly my dream wings
Dissipate without a sound
As they disappear, I'm falling
Hurtling down to the ground
All the colors fade behind me
And I close my eyes in fear
All anxiety returned
That so recently disappeared
Growing closer to the earth
I brace myself for the impact
What a fool to be a dreamer!
Just to leave those wishes cracked
The wind stopped whirring suddenly
I opened up my eyes
I was standing on the shore again
And staring at the sky
Was I flying or just falling?
Was it daydream? Was it real?
I was left there with emotions
That I never thought I'd feel
I was the foolish dreamer
That hoped she could touch the sky
But although her wings were true
She was terrified to die
But a world like that exists there
And that I could not deny
It was a dream, but for a moment
I had learned to fly.
