If I Had My Dream

I came with an offering
A small token of my love and esteem
To find him in good health
Reciting his ambitions to himself
His words water on stone
Polish the bones of passion
Just one long longing
Always the same, contracting and expanding
If I had my dream
If I had my dream
If I had my dream

He told me the world is fantastic
You just have to open your eyes
And don't be disheartened
By deceivers, unbelievers, and their kind
A man could spend his whole life explaining
One simple idea
A charade in a room full of blind men
At the carnival of fear
If I had my dream, he said
If I had my dream
If I had my dream

If I had my dream
