The dreams in my sleep
Are not the ones I want to keep
Walking with my eyes open wide
My thoughts need to glide
A million miles away
Isn’t where my world will stay
My thoughts have become clear
Answers in my life are near
Sometimes it is a delicate thing
This understanding life brings
Realizing pain comes and goes
When it will end nobody knows
Life is not read like a book
Have we ever stopped and taken a look?
Or are we wandering lost souls
Uncaring of our worlds tolls
Does someone need to turn on our light?
So we don’t forever sleep through our nights
Nightmares happen all the time
We just need to keep in rhyme
For if we were to lose the beat
We would forever sleep
Echoes of the old sounds
We would no longer be around
Missing the feeling of the soft rain
Being able to wash away our pain
Grasp the warmth of the sun
Take a moonlight run
Remember this is the way life goes
Don’t become swallowed by her woes
