Childish Dreams

Childish Dreams

I dreamed I won the Olympic marathon, 
After 26 miles, 
I ran into this big stadium,

Man-o-man – I won,
Everybody cheered my name, 

Bright lights, tv cameras aimed at me,

I was important, you see, 

I’m standing on the top stair, 
I’m sweating like I just got out of a hot shower,

Gold Medal dangled down about mid-chest, 
It felt heavier than I’d have guessed,
Then all these people played my country’s fight song…

It could happen, 
Maybe, 
Someday, 
You never know,

But when I opened my eyes, 
It was dark …
And I was all alone,
Alone,

I dreamed I cured Cancer, 
I did in an afternoon, 
It seemed so simple,

I showed my teacher just after math class, 
I saved the bald-headed kid from certain death,

I guess, 

And then we all played video games until my fingers went numb,
It could happen, 

Maybe, 
Someday, 
You never know,

But when I opened my eyes, 
It was dark …
And I was all alone,
Alone,

I dream a lot it seems, 
Dreaming I’m dreaming, 
I like day dreaming at school,

Dreaming I’m someone else,
Being anybody else, 

But me … I do not want to be me,

I’ll keep dreaming in my hiding place, 

My hiding place makes me feel safe, 
I can dream there, 

Dreaming someone would listen to me, 
Maybe notice me,
Maybe be kind to me,

I don’t know why, 
My dreams, 
They grow inside my head,

Some dreams are small,

Some dreams are quiet,

Some dreams scare me, 
I don’t like those dreams … 

I run away from those dreams,
But, I love most of my dreams, 
My dreams are my special place … 

A place I go to hide, 

I like to hide within my dreams,
Because, my dreams always welcome me inside –

I’m safe, 
I’m smart, 
I’m pretty,

My dreams never touch me,

Tease me, 
Or scream at me,

My dreams always give me a hug, 
My dreams tell me I’m loved,
My dreams could come true, 

Maybe, 
Someday, 
You never know,

But when I open my eyes, 
It’s dark …
And I’m all alone,
Alone,

But I’ll keep dreaming, 

You know … 
I won’t stop dreaming,

My heart promised me, so, 
That if I dreamed big enough,
Maybe my dreams would come true,

Maybe, 

Someday, 
You never know, 
I’ll open my eyes,

And I’ll be …
