In
a dream I found myself
In
my heart I lost myself
In
my mind I was someone
in
my world I was somewhere
in
a hope I dared to speak
in
the dark I dared to smile
on
a glimmer I made myself
in
my dream it was all worth while.
for
a moment I became the world
for
a second I was the wind
for
an instant I found essense
for
a time I owned eternity
for
a lifetime I could have dreamed
for
that future I always yearned
and
if I had stopped clinging to the instant
for
a moment I might have learned
when
I was running I was free
when
I was lost I was alone
when
I awoke I found despair
when
I dreamed I found peace
when
I might have reached I was afraid
when
I needed that touch I cowered in pain
within
my fantasy I was free
when
I was running I carried my chains
with
a dream I set off for life
with
a hope it would be real
with
ambition I challenged the world
without
words I hoped they would hear
without
courage I tried to stand
without
balance I turned and tossed
never
knowing how one could entangle
with
a dream I could have lost
In
a dream I found myself
In
my heart I lost myself
In
my mind I was someone
in
my world I was somewhere
in
a hope I dared to speak
in
the dark I dared to smile
on
a glimmer I made myself
in
my dream it was all worth while.
