When I Dream
[©2020 W. Livesay]

I see signs ahead of me that say I missed my turn
I dream to play a young man's game
But it seems I’ve never learned
That my dreams are leading me astray
Up and down an emotional highway
Am I wise to stand my ground
When the odds are stacked to bring me down
Dreams have a way of playing me for a fool
Am I a fool for having dreams
In a world that's so extreme
It may be a leap of faith
But it’s a leap I’m gonna take
When I dream
The other night I was sound asleep
That's such a rare event
I’m lying deep in a dream
That really doesn’t make much sense
In this dream I'm living large
Walking thru a crowd like a movie star
But I can't quench that thirst
That's always been my curse
Dreams have a way of playing me for a fool
Am I a fool for having dreams
In a world that's so extreme
Ain’t no mountain I can’t climb
I’ll swim the rivers deep and wide
When I dream
I see myself in a mess giving more getting less
And I keep coming back coming back for more
It may cause my defeat
But I will not retreat
From dreams that seem to get the best of me
Dreams have a way of playing me for a fool
Am I a fool for having dreams
In a world that's so extreme
Ain’t no mountain I can’t climb
I’ll swim the rivers deep and wide
When I dream
