When you fall asleep
And lost in dreams
Does your heart keep
What no one sees?
Does your soul speak words
Of times gone by
And the stars at night
Keep the truth inside?
When your breathing slows
And your eyes are closed
Does your mind subside
To the still of night?
When the wind brakes free
And the leaves all fall
Do your thoughts belong
To you at all?
And when the moon will wane
Does your soul remain
Chained in fear and pain
Only free to strain?
When the truth you know
Seems to seldom go
Will your heart still beat
As at night you sleep?
And when a star shoots down
From the midnight sky
Will you still be here
Always at my side?
When your soul weeps
For the tears you keep
Will you ever find
That you will be free?
And when the morning dawns
Upon a brand new day
Will your soul still find
A journey laid?
And if you listen close
To the morning sun
Will your dreams come true
Only One by one?
And if all is said
When all is done
Does your heart belong
To at least someone?
And if  goodbye becomes
What today will be
Will you think of life
And remember me....
