I Dreamed a Dream

I dreamed a dream 



I wander streets alone at night beneath the light of street lamps burning 

I am there in darkness not in light in the shadows I'll be creeping 

I see all the creatures out tonight and no one wants them for enslaving 

I am the dreamer who fights the fight and I'll never stop this endless searching 

I know the people warm inside are just happy in ignorance of learning 

I keep my soul from blackest knights and watch the wheels that keep on churning 

I am free I cry in spite of the gremlins that want to see inside which is always lurking 

I cannot forever hide but when I'm spent the dreams I have are mine not one was ever faking
