The Urban Dreamer



I have got nothing but dreams in my head,
That I am high up on a mountain 
Staring at the sunset so red.
I would do everything that can be done,
To go do something, get off the bed
Even if daydreaming seems so much fun!

As I look past my tame facade in the mirror,
I realize I can no longer be chained down.
I dont want discipline and order,
I dont want to take the train downtown.
I want to run wild and free
By a river and not on the city streets!

With my bags packed and my mind ready to go,
I travel the longest roads, mountains high and low.
Without a care, I risk my life on the high seas,
This is  the most exciting that life can be.
I meet wise men and women,
And gather all the wisdom that one needs.

Feeling refreshed , I begin the journey back home
Although I am sure, a part of me is still in Rome.
My wanderlust sated, my feet keep moving,
Everything around me turns still, I hear a bell ring.
I am alone in my bed, staring at the ceiling,
Was that all true, or was I just daydreaming?
