A Dream of What Could Be

I want to give a gift to him
From days that I remember
I hope the things he learns today
Will stay with him forever

I see it in the distance
New beginnings fresh and clean
It's more than just a place
It is a dream of what could be

Then he was gone

I feel my lungs compress
With shaking hands and going blind
Into chaotic seas I press
As panic overtakes my mind

The hands that tear at me
For wayward waves of reckless wonder
Take my ambition frantically
And leave me slowly sinking under

The feet come down
The feet press down

I saw it in the distance
Wanted everyone to see
It was more than just a place
It was a dream of what could be

Not sure how it was I got here
With all these people going mad
Do what I can to calm them down
And show them what they have

Through this mess I see a man
Who is pushing through the crowd
Trying my best to hear his cries
But the shouting drowned him out

The feet come down
The feet press down

Then he was gone
