Childhood Dreams

Childhood Dreams

I have heard in the silence of dreams
A sigh of a far away song,
Of a world I long to see, a whisper away
Out of my reach, and it seems
There’s nothing left to say.

Spells and unicorns dancing
Waking seem far beyond
The world in which I walk, so much is gone
Only alive when I sing
Yet I’ve lost that song.

Music I’ll never remember now
The dreams have faded,
Lost in a wood full of nightmares
Legends and how
Am I to control my fears.

I knew this world once intimately
I walked every path
Took innocence for granted, no second chances
I sail a stormy sea
Without backward glances.

Only childhood dreams.
