It stands before me in my mind   For this is what I see   The perfect image of a world   Created just for me   Too great to speak I'm without words   In which I can describe   This part of me that's never free   Forever caught in time      But it's just an illusion   That passes the time away   A strange illusion   That's with me everyday   It's just an illusion   That traps me in my dreams   Just an illusion, a thought, a fantasy      For I've existed in this world   Just waiting for the day   That I'd become the messenger   For all there was to say   And now I've waited for my chance   To re-invent the dream   To re-establish thoughts of hope   With every breath I breathe      Yes, wishful thinking brings me hope   And leaves me to my dreams   For it's my way of letting go   And passing time with ease   But there's no saving what's been lost   To what we call mankind   Yet fantasies are always free   And dreaming is my mind
