Flying

Last night I dreamt a strange, peculiar dream

A child slept underneath a great bird's wing

Laid on the ground where warmth was found

Until he woke and crawled away on hands and knees

Flying in my dream

Flying in my dream

A snake told stories to the child untrue

The child bent down and felt its poison tooth

Started to die, the bird did fly

Swallowed the snake to save the child, and then he died

Flying in my dream

Flying in my dream

The dead bird laid, for three whole days

Then spread its wings and flew away

I woke up early while the sun still slept

This strange dream circulating in my head

Stared at the ceiling, pondered its meaning

The dream would not leave me although I left my bed

Flying in my dream

Flying in my dream

The dead bird laid, for three whole days

Then spread its wings and flew away

In my dream

In my dream

My dream
