I dream of the time
When I wake up to things –
Things I wished for
Things I prayed for;
I try to listen to my heart,
To hear what I want
But sometimes what I want
Is far from me,
Other times, what I want
Is seen in my dream
Hence, when day breaks
I wish to live in my dreams
Maybe I’ll be more jolly
Maybe I’ll be happier
Since I dream of the time,
When I wake up to things –
Things I wished for
Things I prayed for;
My heart asks,
When will the time come?
When my dreams will be real?
