Dreaming

There is a girl
So simple and small
But when the night comes
She grows so tall

She walks on the oceans
Soars with the birds
Swims with the fish
Runs with the herds

She flies so far
To Paris or Rome
To ancient cities
To places unknown

She is young
She is old
She is shy
She is bold

She dreams so much
And wishes so hard
Her dreams are her wings
She deals them like cards

She crosses the country
In one single bound
She is wise beyond years
Her knowledge profound

She can build a world
With a single thought
She can tie a rope
Without one knot

This girl,
She is me
My dreams are just dreams
A lock with no key

My ancient cities
My secret worlds
They're all just lies
Broken dreams, unfurled

The sky, it is crumbling
The oceans, turned red
I wish this was the dream
I wish I was dead

What happened to innocence?
What happened to faith?
Why are my havens,
Turning into my wraith?

The hidden worlds
I spoke of before
Are shattered now
Broken on the floor

There is a girl
So hopeless and bland
She dared to fly
And for that, she was damned
