Life Is but a Dream

Life is but a dream, just stranded in between The days and the nights, trying to fathom what it means But life is so much more when it unravels from the seams Heavy is the heart when life is pulling at the strings Falling in my dreams, this test is so profound Hoping I can learn to fly before I plummet to the ground I've witnessed all that matters turn to ashes in the sun But the dream beyond this life is what we face when life is done Shieldin' the light that has dimmed throughout the years Waving in the wind and nearly doused by all the tears Life is filled with pain that can bring us to our knees Though hidden in the will to rise again lie steady seas Life is all there is and life is nothing less Than a test to carry forth these visions through the emptiness In the darkness I remember I was summoned for this journey Staying true to the quest as I keep the fire burning
