Memoirs of a Dreamer

Memoirs of a Dreamer

Verse 1

I was just a young man

with the sun against my eyes.

Watching the world go by.

Life was so lonely.

I would sit and dream of wonder,

but never chase it with my hands.

That was foreign lands,

a boundary inside me.

Chorus

I was just a dreamer

dreaming of a life when I could see,

past childhood slavery.

I was just a dreamer

dreaming of the life that I could lead,

that’s now reality.

Verse 2

As a child so lost in thunder,

A mother’s hate was all I had.

The pain of her open hand,

stinging and frightening.

I would hide away inside me,

dreams of maidens fair and kind.

None of them cold and blind,

none of them taunt me.

Chorus

Middle 8

But dreams were all I had,

to take away the pain and tragedy,

of a mothers hate for me.
