A Daydream

Daydreaming, on a sunny day I develop thoughts of grandeur as the afternoon slips away. I can be the hero as I step upon my stage When the boy gets the girl and inhibitions slip away. I will be the leading actor and I will write the script. The pilot of my airplane or the captain of my ship. The scene can be a majestic mountain or the roll of the mighty sea, And I can stand like solid rock, as my thoughts are running free. I may fly like a bird right out of a comic book Or soar through a million stars, eager for a cosmic look. People walk around me as I sleep here in the shade. Do they somehow know of all the leading parts I’ve played? When I finally wake up and rub the sleep from my heavy eyes. I have to remove my mask and I lose my disguise. But there will be another day and I will take a trip. I’ll fly through the universe aboard my rocket ship.
