Dream

Sleep is a place
Where you can dream about the things that you could be
But isn't yours yet
Even if isn't
You can still close your eyes
And dream
You could be sitting in a tree
With darkness washing over you
As you count the stars
Or your feet could feel the soft grass beneath you
Right before you jump
And not fall
You let your silvery wings be free
And open wide so you can fly
If you search for these with your eyes open
You won't find them
And I'm not going to lie to you
And say that you will always find your dreams
Because that's all they are
Dreams
You may be young
But your not that naive
It may feel so right
As you stretch your wings
And let the others be powerless for once
But that's what makes you want to fly
The knowledge that your the one
The one who is able to let the wind carry you away
Into the night
But even though I know that's not the way it is
I still fall asleep
And let the river take me down
It's every turn
Hope has four letters
And dream has five
Because the truth is
When you close your eyes
That's what makes you feel so alive
