We Can Fly in Dreams

In our time
We wish that we
Could soar above
Our family tree

Fledge from here
Lift off and glide
Alight upon
Another side

But gravity
Maintains a hold
Like Major Tom
We're ground controlled

For eons we
Have set our eyes
Above our heads
And toward the skies

Watch as birds
Maneuver wings
Release balloons
Let go of strings

Commence a leap
A running start
We're bound to here
We don't depart

Those lofty goals
How can we square
With so much left
Up in the air

We struggle to
Accept the weight
That keeps us down
We concentrate

Our waking hours
Our consciousness
Restrict the ways
That we progress

Yet
We can fly in dreams

Comes a day
Our slumbers end
A time to toil
We rise again

Roam the earth
Immerse in sea
Yet in the air
We can't fly free

Construct machines
To escalate
The powers of
Our natural state

We launch into
The atmosphere
Imagine it
Without the gear

Pass through clouds
Before the dawn
Though we discount
Where we have gone

Our minds have been
So we can claim
Experience
Just the same

Rest in peace
Let off some steam
Get lost in space
Perchance to dream

Inter our bones
And in the end
We can believe
Our souls ascend

Our waking hours
Our consciousness
Restrict the ways
That we progress

We can fly in dreams
