Wishful Sleeping

1.
Would that I could drift above the clouds; To see all that lies beneath. The vast expanses reaching out to the horizon, The fingers of green and blue. Those grasping hands, outstretched - Spread across so small a frame. And then, to gaze above; To watch as the swarm of stars Flies across boundless space. Time stands still; Eternity becomes a single moment. All that ever was, is, or will be Is placed in the palm of my hand. A flickering flame, The breath of life. The light of countless souls, Their stories known only to me. And then, to wake; To see the blue of the ceiling above my bed; To know that it was never real. To feel the chill of early morning, As the first rays of sun peek through my window. Would that I could drift above the clouds; To see all that lies beneath. To sleep, perchance to dream...

Lyrics:

Would that I could drift above the clouds;
To see all that lies beneath.
The vast expanses reaching out to the horizon,
The fingers of green and blue.
Those grasping hands, outstretched -
Spread across so small a frame.
And then, to gaze above;
To watch as the swarm of stars
Flies across boundless space.

Time stands still;
Eternity becomes a single moment.
All that ever was, is, or will be
Is placed in the palm of my hand.
A flickering flame,
The breath of life.
The light of countless souls,
Their stories known only to me.

And then, to wake;
To see the blue of the ceiling above my bed;
To know that it was never real.
To feel the chill of early morning,
As the first rays of sun peek through my window.

Would that I could drift above the clouds;
To see all that lies beneath.
To sleep, perchance to dream...
