What If

What if I told you the sky was purple and that the clouds were really a dark green could you imagine the luscious possibility Or is your mind a reality check machine Take a trip into your subconscious maybe what you see is a dream maybe the stars bleed blue as red seeps into the ocean stream We are taught as a child what to think The language and colors of life And not to challenge the system Not to looks back, like Lot's wife So imagine, you lay out in a field Yellow grass sways in the wind The lavender sky stretches before your eyes and nature's balance hazily ends Forget what you've been told Forget it while you can Before you become too senile Because time waits for no man The clouds are green I tell you, The vast oceans are red The purple skies adorn a silver moon As it shines through the window near my bed Sleep well love, because in the morning The skies will once again be blue After your imagination sobers The possibilities become few.
