Dreams

For some it is an island For some it is a stream For you it is a moment A fleeting happy dream I really don't know how or why But to me it always seems The only time I see you smile Is only in my dreams Only in my dreams For him it is a burden A road that never ends A shroud of obligation A reason to pretend I really don't know how or why But to me it always seems The only time I see you smile Is only in my dreams Only in my dreams For her it is an endless tide Of dirt and pain and fear For her it is a smiling face To crush the flow of tears I really don't know how or why But to me it always seems The only time I see you smile Is only in my dreams Only in my dreams Don't look down, just look up Raise your hands towards the sky Don't wait for your dream, it's already here If you just open up your eyes I really don't know how or why But to me it always seems The only time I see you smile Is only in my dreams Only in my dreams
