I dream of all the future may hold in store
Happiness or sorrow, which will become my friend
I awake sometimes feeling so empty inside
But noone wants to hear when I say I feel the end.

I dream of wonderous days that have long gone past
When a confined princess was waiting to be saved by a prince
But I awake to the reality that those days are no more
And that to dream of such things just doesnt make sense.

I dream of the present time I am living within
Wondering if those around can sense the tears Ive shed
I awake to tear soaked pillows as the sun breaks
Now with millions of questions running through my head.

I dream of demons as well as the angels they fight
I shed another solemn tear for the one I want to protect
I awake with the wonder of if the night took them away
Even if it has, they're someone best not to forget.

I dream of a place where forever does truly and really exist
Where love is real and lovers together prove thier true worth
I awake to the worlds hate as I change through channels
And sadly start thinking we were doomed before our births.

I dream of all the future holds in store for myself and my love
Dream of a marriage, couple kids and a house on a hill
I awake to my lovers arms wrapped completely around me
And think to myself I may get lucky and have that still.
