Dream Deferred

Waiting for this day to end I loathe the way my time is spent Will the day ever come when I can indulge the daydreams in my head A dream deferred, forced onto the back burner A life forgotten, but ready to begin again Counting seconds as they pass Stretches the time infinitely If I ever reach the last I promise that I'll use it wisely A dream deferred, forced onto the back-burner A life forgotten, but ready to begin again There's so little time left for me And I don't want to spend it with you If I could take back all the days I've wasted here I'd have a whole new lifetime and nothing left to fear A dream deferred, forced onto the back burner A life forgotten, but ready to begin again
