lyrics

It seems this paradox has me.
yet I dream. yes, I believe in escaping.
Are my actions merely the sum
of the thoughts in a mind yet to be made up
Is it in me to change; decide?
Is it in me to stay alive?

I have dreamt of having precious perfect paper wings.
But seeing and believing are not the same thing.
I know my fear of flight will surely fade away
‘cause though it seems I’m dreaming, I’m really wide awake.

If it’s not in my nature, am I simply at a loss?
If I put it on paper, does it strengthen my resolve?
Either physics or faith are a fiction
or so we’ve been taught to believe
it’s absurd to imagine the notion
of the two in a perfect harmony.

I have dreamt of having precious perfect paper wings.
But seeing and believing are not the same thing.
I know my fear of flight will surely fade away
‘cause though it seems I’m dreaming, I’m really wide awake.

I won’t concern myself
with simple things like gravity.
I soon will wake up somewhere else
and see with perfect clarity.

Hey sleeper,
open your eyes.
Hey lucid dreamer,
take back your life.

I know my fear of flight will soon fade away
because I’m not dreaming, I’m wide awake.

I have dreamt of having precious perfect paper wings.
But seeing and believing are not the same thing.
I know my fear of flight will surely fade away
‘cause though it seems I’m dreaming, I’m wide awake.
I’m wide awake!
