Someone Else's Dream

What do you do when all you’ve ever wanted comes gently tapping at your chamber
door?
How should it feel when all that really matters is not the all that you’ve been
reaching for?
I am lost on a highway in December
Cutting night with a fading beam
This is a place like none that I remember
I must be dreaming someone else’s dream
What do you say when you forget the question and your mind is wandering half a
world away?
How do you know if someone wants to keep you even though you don’t intend to
stay?
I am caught in a stout and lofty fortress
City lights are a distant gleam
I cannot ride someone else’s horses
Thundering toward someone else’s dream
What do you hold when swirling all around you is a rising tide that chills you
to the core?
How do you swim in a dark and lonely ocean knowing you may never reach the
shore?
I am adrift in cold and open water
Sinking fast in my own esteem
Have I become Noah’s wayward daughter?
Floating by on someone else’s
Thundering toward someone else’s
I must be dreaming someone else’s dream
Wake me up — it’s someone else’s dream
