Once I had a precious dream
And now that dream is gone
Like every dream, I ever dreamed
They’ve all gone, every one  

Can you see the longed for face
That I have never seen
And imagine how it feels
To touch what I have dreamed  

What if the shadow that I cast
Were no more there to see
Would it shew I don’t exist?
That I have ceased to be?  

Is anything just what it seems?
Does anybody care?
Is this life only in my dreams?
Some dreadful dark nightmare  

And if I’m only in some dream
Then all this life’s a sham
But if this dream is dreamt by me
Then can I say “I am”?  

No one can know the time and place
That’s locked away inside
Our sense of time and space is ours
That no one can divide  

It’s made of dreams, of hopes, of fears
Of what we wish could be
Of what we think would make us safe
And bring security  

Meditating on my own
Images come streaming
But when I think such thoughts as these
Am I only dreaming?
