In Dreams

My lights are out, I'm staring at the wall,
Nowhere to go, no one to call,
Solitude surrounds me and locks me in,
And softly drowns out the daily din,

When the burdens of existence are too much to bear,
When the soul longs for a life with ne're a care,
When the open skies beckon my mind,
I'll break every shackel and leave creation behind,

In a dream there lies a perfect place,
Overflowing with beauty abounding in grace,
On a quest for this magical land i head,
When I close my eyes and lay on my bed.
