I Woke Up In a Dream
I woke up in a dream on a coast I've never seen
But somehow in a way, I knew I'd be here one day
I'm detecting a touch of Spanish, language it is not
All I see is leaving Galleon's, raped, now forgot
I'm seeing centuries before me, colonial now so free
The Japanese like them before, ravaging in spree
On a beach I walk to the light, attracting I to enter
I'm there, as I walk through, my viewing now centred
Into this lush land I walk, not knowing where I'll be
There's something that desires, I'll know when I see
Walking, walking, walking, it's all I appear to do
Clearer my mind becomes, I know I'm walking to you
Further my weakened feet, stride through their weak
I know at the end of my journey, I'll meet whom I seek
A village, a town nears, as I look back to whence I came
Awakening in this dream, praying this person feels the same
