Dreams of a better life will they ever come true
Or are they to remain a myth,
A strange fairy tale
Lost in our sleep

Awakening to the facts
Can’t deny what happens when awake
Is so much harder to take than our dreams
Oh to sleep forever

Imagine a life with sweet perfection
No fights or pain
No unfulfilled desires
Everything you could ever want
There for you to have

The myth of dreams
The hard facts of awakening
When can I make my dreams a fact?
Maybe when I sleep forever.
