Am I just dreaming?



I don’t rap, I don’t sing, just a writer trying to make sense of things
I think all day and write all night, find the way to illuminate the light
Am I just dreaming in a world that’s come undone?
Am I just dreaming or am I just having so much fun
Let it last so, so long
Am I just dreaming, I don’t know?
Does it all have to make sweet sense?
Will our hearts then finally rest? While our minds take the final test
I don’t shoot, I don’t kill, just a writer trying to pay the bills
I work all day and write all night, find the way to share this life
Am I just dreaming in a world of wonder
Am I just dreaming, oh no Madonna
Let it last way past tomorrow
Am I just dreaming, I don’t think so
Does it all have to make sweet sense?
Will our hearts then finally rest? While our minds take another test
I don’t strum, I don’t drum, just a writer trying to make you hum along
Make you want to write this song
As you pour it out your lungs, oh baby you haven’t heard enough
Until you hear that back beat break in and then walk right out again
Until you hear that back beat break in and then turn around, and walk right out again
Forget the time you read over all the rules and still you misunderstood
So you forged ahead again and never turned back your head
Then things got tired just like these last few funky lines
I don’t talk, I lost my tongue, just a writer with working fingers, thank god
I think all day and write all night, with my dragon love and fire child
Am I just dreaming that this world will come to an end
While a new one awaits us where we will all unite as friends
Let it last so, so long
Am I just dreaming, I don’t think so
Am I just dreaming?
