It stands before me in my mind For this is what I see The perfect image of a world Created just for me Too great to speak I'm without words In which I can describe This part of me that's never free Forever caught in time But it's just an illusion That passes the time away A strange illusion That's with me everyday It's just an illusion That traps me in my dreams Just an illusion, a thought, a fantasy For I've existed in this world Just waiting for the day That I'd become the messenger For all there was to say And now I've waited for my chance To re-invent the dream To re-establish thoughts of hope With every breath I breathe Yes, wishful thinking brings me hope And leaves me to my dreams For it's my way of letting go And passing time with ease But there's no saving what's been lost To what we call mankind Yet fantasies are always free
