4am and dreaming

4am and dreaming

I want to sail on a chocolate ship

Into an ocean of mystery

I want to drown in a thousand sunsets

And float on a cloud in the galaxy

I want to visit a land of dreams

that come true in the blink of an eye

Where black and white, yellow, pink and blue

Are living in harmony

I want, I want, I want, I want

A summer to last forever

I want the snow to be deep and white

Autumn leaves on the ground piled high

The seasons shared in a single day

And the children touching the sky

Give me a land of make believe

Let me float on a tropical sea

Take me away from the daily news

Far, far from reality

I want to be off in a syrupy spiral

That’s spinning in fantasy

Bouncing me off this complex planet

To an imagined simplicity

I want to shed all of my clothes

and dance to the haunting tune

Of a zillion cicada’s tymbals

Thundering under the moon

Come along, come along hold hands round the world

And let’s all embrace one another

Come share the dream of shalom for one day

Mothers, fathers, daughters, sisters, uncles and brother

I want to sail on a chocolate ship ……………….
