its been days, iv been dreaming for days
something which i can not seem to awaken myself from
dreams in which i am what i can never be
dreams in which i see all that i would never see
dreams where happiness is what i cant reach
its been years, ive been awake for years
those years are not what i thought they would be
years of being with people who seem to care
years of being around those not treated fair
years where what i believe in is trully not there
its been decades, ive suffered for decades
to think that i thought kindly once before
decades of seeing the world slowly turn inside out
decades of seeing truth and honor skewered
decades that i wish i did not go through
yet i am grateful that i get to dream
i am grateful i get to live
