a simple point in time when the sun doesn’t shine
i could probably find a rainbow if I could see through the rain
and it seemed like such a feeble crack
couldn’t believe it when I fell straight through

so onward I march to another point in time
maybe this time I might find a picture in the clouds
an image so beautiful that it radiates abundant pleasure
until the moment when I open my eyes and reality sets in.

it really makes me wonder now
are my dreams all that is left to me?

and when I lay me down to sleep
with visions of happier times dancing in my head
floating out upon the ocean on a gentle breeze
yet when I open my eyes it turns dark once more.

i thought it would be good to write a song
hoping the words would fill my heart and make me smile
but the melody that came forth was soft and sad
maybe next time I’ll dance instead of sing.

and it really makes me wonder now
are my dreams all that is left to me?

so once again I dream.
