"SOMETHING TRUE"
VERSE ONE
We climbed above the clouds and flew on wings of make-believe.
We stopped beyond the edge of time- the place where no one sleeps.
And from our unmarked palace- through a foggy looking glass,
we saw a thousand busy streets where yellow chariots passed.
Outside our sanctuary, the chaos dragon roared-
then sang to us a lullaby as heaven gently poured.
We laid our heads on cotton clouds beneath a maiden's gaze
and watched reality disappear into a dreamer's haze.
CHORUS
And once upon a time while in that land so far away,
we 'woke to find a night that was no different from the day.
We walked across that wonderland into our common dream-
two children chasing fairytales where things aren't what they seem.
And among that distant kingdom’s artificial light and steel,
we drowned ourselves in make-believe while finding something real.
For in that dream we faced a beast, as heroes all must do,
and washed away the fantasy, creating something true.
VERSE TWO
We always raced the clock in fear of running out of time.
And no one seemed to notice that the giants hid the sky.
Beneath the ground were tunnels where the giant snakes rolled by.
Into the serpent's lair we went, and we began to see the lie.
We swam upstream through strangers, trav’ling on a concrete sea.
But soon the paint was peeling all around our land of dreams.
Outside the house of gold and greed, the beast of truth appeared.
It left us cold and hurting on a street side with our fears.
BRIDGE
Reality came crashing through our land of make-believe
And flashed its careless, deadly fangs like swords drawn from their sheaths.
Amidst the pain and sudden tears, a fantasy was killed-
though dreams aren't always pleasant, we can help each other heal.
