" Dreams "

When I lay down to sleep
My thoughts begins to wander
There are countless things
That my mind might ponder
-
My thoughts start to drift
To that magical world of dreams
It's all so real
At least so it seems
-
I can cross time and space
I can fly through the air
I can do anything
And I don't have a care
-
I can captain a starship
Or be a child in a wagon
I might drive a fast racecar
Or slay an evil dragon
-
I can visit old loved ones
Who have long since passed
Or be the look out in the crows nest
Of a pirates ships mast
-
I can be large as a giant
I can be small as a flee
I can be invisible to the eye
Or a star on TV
-
Dreams can be timeless
There are no limits you see
Still when I wake in the morning
I'm just glad to be me .
