dream about flying

pale light this morning

woke me

slow pain i feel

will not let me be

so much work to do

i don't know if i can

trying so hard

so hard

so hard

but i'm just one man

five years old i climbed up on the wall

my mother warned me but i took no heed

like all creatures great and small

i took a fall and found out i could bleed

these days i'm afraid of everything

suppose cause everything will die

thought it was to love what they will lose

so much easier to lie

sometimes i fell like i'm drowning

actually it's more like most of the time

but every now and then when i'm sleeping

i still have a dream that i'm flying

and i wake up crying
