A man woke
And went to work
A man woke
But never opened his eyes.
A man drank his coffee
Said his jokes
Got his laughs
A man woke
And kissed his partner
Says all the right things
And never wonders
A man woke.
Or did he?
A man wakes.
And he sings.
Of joy, of happiness.
Of pain, of sorrow.
But he never awoke.
A man woke
And went to work,
Eyes closed, mind shut
A man wakes.
And he dances.
Sharp, and sudden, painful.
Slow, and fluid, sorrow.
But he never awoke.
He never sang.
He never danced.
A man woke.
Or did he?
Signed, a Simple Man.
