When you fall asleep at night
your mind goes into an eerie flight
You can open the gate with they key of thought,
and don't have to do what you've been taught

You sing, and dance, and prance all day,
and you act so happy and also gay.
You run in circles and run into trees,
and cut your elbows and scrape your knees.

But sometimes you open the wrong gate,
and find yourself facing a terrible fate.
There are monsters, ghouls, and also grouches,
and then you wish you were on comfortable couches

And when you're done and almost through,
your mind knows exactly what to do.
You go back through the eerie flight,
it maybe day it maybe night

And when your mind comes back to you,
you may wake up and have a flu.
You could leave for school very late,
and find out that it's the wrong date.

And you could play outside in the streams,
but you will know that you entered,
"The Land of Dreams ".
