DREAMS COMING TRUE

Soldiers are fighting
Bombs are dropping
Nations are warring
I’m on the run with no home to go to
It’s all a bad dream coming true.

The moment is fleeting
The day’s swallowed by black clouds
Not even her at my side
I’m so lonely I could cry
It’s all a bad dream coming true.

Sometimes I run and hide
Other times I’m shot wounded
The world’s spinning faster and faster
And she’s not there to stop me from falling
It’s all a bad dream coming true.

I dreamt the Challenger disaster
I saw religious men feud
I ran hundreds and hundreds of miles,
Lived in caves, ate grass and roots
It’s all a bad dream coming true.

Dreams becoming reality – No! No! No!
I look up at the sun –
No! It’s a nuke out blinding me
I wake up and can’t see
It’s all a bad dream coming true.

But then I pulled the covers off my head
And realized my dreams were a mistake
I see we’re really alive
Walking hand in hand with her beside me
No more bad dreams coming true.

No more bad dreams coming true.
Only good dreams about you.
Only good dreams coming true.
 

THE BROKEN SPELL



The spell, broken by thunder,

Seemed eternal until today

The prayer for the cessation of desire,

However, must continue

The image maker,

Whose creation is the idol,

Shall turn into the stone he carves,

The picture he paints

And the page he writes

With words formed by his lips,

and not inspired,

He shall proclaim his vanity

The calm must prevail among peace makers,

Whose leaders strive to end battles

May God be with them forever.
