I Must Dream

I wish I chose to be; What I am being
And chose to sleep; Where I am sleeping
If only to be all that I wish was
And to know that I was not dreaming 

Laying here weeping
I keep on thinking
There is only one way
I must start dreaming

Hi Matt, I like how you know where it all comes from. I myself think, dreaming has the best of me. There, I can fix a few details... A perfect 7 verse... LINDA
