Dream

Lovely and terrible The world can be. But at the end of the day Go to sleep, go to sleep. Dream of great mountains That you always can climb Picture your troubles Then leave them behind. Up, up you go Towards the tippy top Where the view is inviting You won’t want to stop. But whatever goes up Must always come down Don’t forget to come back to us Here on the ground. Life can be hard And it’s good to escape But only for a short while Because not everyone waits For those who are dreaming But don’t want to believe That their view on the mountain Could become reality. Come back, come back Bring your dreams to the ground Keep them with you always To fight back the awful crowd That keeps us from loving Wishing and hoping And dreaming while we are Awake.
