I had the strangest dream last night, 
I dreamed of places not yet seen, 
of voices not yet heard,
and things we only hope for-
in this quiet place, where time
means little more than trust...

I could put myself inside
and live forever knowing
that this would not fade away-
and I could stand forever, firm
in knowing what is real.

I want to make you understand
force you
to see things the way I do...
I want to make you believe
in all the power behind you
in all the great things
you'll someday do...

but you, my friend
are busy waiting
for the easy way,
the clean way,
the quick way...

and I do not have time,
or the will
to stop this train
and let you off
just so you can see yourself
through eyes not jaded...
just so you can objectify
your deeds, your desires...

I will bear this patient struggle
and for now, enjoy the thought
that someday
I will watch the world unfold-
I will see the end of it all...
and the beginning
of something better.
