v8dreaming

i've wasted so much time
where should i be
other than where i am
where are my dreams
no longer in hand

wind in my hair as i walk
i stair at the sky
wishing i was a star
left with this longing
buried deep in my heart

whatever became of what i hoped to be
the world past me by
and i'm left here standing
with nothing but my shadow to keep me company

my dreams grew wings
and i never left the ground
a caged bird sings
and there's no-one around

i close my eyes
fall into sleep
in hopes that when i awake
it was all just a dream
