Live in my dreams

Sometimes the world weighs on our shoulders,
Life’s unforgiving boulders,
Sometimes the tunnel has no light,
Darkness is the blackest bright,
Sometimes we are afraid to try,
Because it’s harder to live than to die,
Life is hard so it seems,
So I’d rather live in my dreams.

The best part of each day is when I close my eyes,
The time when yesterday dies,
I look forward to as much joy as I can imagine,
To my own piece of heaven,
My imagination takes me where I have never been,
To things I have never seen,
Life is hard so it seems,
Hence I’d rather live in my dreams.

Last night I dreamt I was a King,
Bearing many a gold ring,
I once dreamt I was a man of valour,
Blessed with much of God’s favour,
Tonight I hope to be a man of importance,
Maybe even from France,
Life is so much better in my dreams,
So I’d rather live there, it seems.

My light turns dark when I must awake,
When once again my back must break,
When I dread the thought of being alive,
When I am ready for life’s strife,
The brightness of the sun darkens my soul,
A mortal black hole,
This life is hard so it seems,
So I’d rather live in my dreams.
