Wake Me When I'm Free

Please, wake me when I am free I cannot bear activity Where my couch, I am told, "Hold no significance" I waited and died in ignorance But my inner eye can see, erase Who reigned as king in another place The green trees were reached from fall And every man spoke of beautiful men and women together as people War was gone because all was at peace But now like a nightmare, I woke to see That I live like a prisoner of poverty Please, wake me when I am free I cannot bear activity Fall, I will have a ?, stricken blind Than to live without expression of mind
