Visions

Standing in the day you fail to realize
Your eyes are beginning to close
Your limbs getting heavy and lye paralyzed

Your reflexes will delay
As you do not see everything in the right way
Can you live like this?
Not knowing what you miss

You start seeing images created by your mind
Many times you see the things you cannot find.
You maybe strong
So you will not admit when you're wrong
Always refusing help of any kind 

All of these visions triggered
By things in your life you feel much bigger

You need to stop and open your eyes
You need to realize that you are drifting from reality
Your dreams can't go on 24 hours a day
You need to wake up and find your way
No matter how hard life is
You can't give up and drift to no where
You need to keep your mind right here
Arise with determination in your eyes
You cannot compromise

All of these visions triggered
By things in your life you feel much bigger 

It's time to wake up from your dreams
At night and stop having them during the day 
Your travels may never be what they seem
When you spend most of the day in a dream
