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.
