Someone Else's Dream

As white as a cloud
As blue as the sea
As dark as the night 
And as black in a crowd

Decisions to make,
are not mine to break. 
Must be a piece of cake,
but hard to take.

Someone else's dream
are just like a beam
But what about mine—
'cause for them it feels like a—crime

Sometimes I wonder,
if do they even care,
for the things I did—
break a leg—is all I need.

Once the sea calls me
I feel like I am free
For someone else's dream
Is like a cream
