The Dreamer

The Dreamer The dreamer sees a different world Than either you or I. He sees the other side of things, And sometimes he wonders why. The mind that he is given, He will use it well. He dreams about how things could be, And from his dreams only he can tell. He sees a world so different That world that comes to him For his dreams are his alone Since he is lost in them. In some ways he transcends this world And leaves this world behind For when he dreams he’s gone from here Which is common in the dreamer’s mind. He sees a world of beauty When at times this life is tough, And even when his eyes are closed, His thoughts are clear enough. Sometimes though the time will come When he sees the other side. He sees the dark side of this life, And this darkness he can’t hide. Oh those dreams that are a dreamer’s, Those dreams in life I see For I'm the one who is that dreamer Who dreams continually.
