Livin' In A Dream World

I was very sick over the weekend...I didn't have the strength to do anything but think...And believe me i was coming up with some very strange ideas while i lay in bed too ill to sleep...If you're a fan of world peace...In my dream world i was making it happen...I played the slightly bemused hero who had somehow done for the world what our greatest leaders had failed to do for centuries...I just talked...people listened...and just like that we had world peace...Prejudice...intolerance and bigotry ended when the world heard what i had always wanted to say...I was so happy...Now no one would ever have to suffer from our most preventable killer...war...Because i had laid it out plain and simple...Prejudice...intolerance and bigotry were the root cause of our pain...and when it stopped...War became unthinkable...We were all winning because we stopped fighting...

Then reality came creeping in...My world was not recognized by anyone but me...I had done nothing...I was just dreaming the same dream i always have in my heart...I have tried to share that dream in little ways all my life...But the cynics of the world could never really accept my world...Because hatred and fear have long been institutionalized...Rulers try to gain power to keep power...they can never really take that leap of faith that is required to use that power for anything but maintaining the status quo...

So i'm back now...in the real world...and i'm still not happy with it...But i also know i will never give up my dream...The dream i dream is the most wonderful i dream i know...that is because it is also the most elusive...I will go on dreaming that someday we will get beyond the hurtful hate that makes people hide what they really want...in favor of something more in line with what is commonly accepted by our society...The dreamer dreams on...A simple dream of real love that whole world could share...Without the fear of being rejected for stepping out of life...the way it is always been...and moving forward with a different plan for life the way it could be...The way it should be...If we want to end the problems that have held us back...It takes the strongest leap of faith...to really believe in love.

"Livin' In A Dream World"

don't know a single thing about love
i had to learn to live without love
i found a place where i could go
a place my shame would never show

i dream a dream that seems so real
it's like a life without the feel
i go there when i'm by myself
then all the empty can't be felt

i could fly me to the moon
i'll be riding on a broom

now now
i'm livin' in a dream world
now now
ooh what a life
now now
i'm livin' in a dream world
where everything is always alright
'cause i keep the real world outta sight

I'll Always Be A Friend To You

no matter what i've said
no matter what i've done
some things can never change
no matter where we run
whatever happens
you know that it's true
i'll always be a friend to you

i may get angry
i may be sad
some things i may regret
when i'm trying to hold fast
it may be hard to see
but you know it's true
i'll always be a friend to you

the wins and losses in this life keep closing in
sometimes it's hard to find my way
but when i'm down the most and i think i've reached the end
just a word or two can save me
if they're coming from a friend

i may act colder
i may act dumb
i know i can't be perfect
but i'm not the only one
when the word is said
you will know it's true
i'll always be a friend to you
