ONCE A CHILD
By Adan Torres
Once a child with vivid dreams
Dreams were wild but wasn’t what it seemed
Birds would sing
The wind whispered in my ear
It was make-believe in a world so unclear
Once a child collecting memories
Running wild
Not knowing what life would bring
Life would spring
Awaken all my fears
No longer make-believe
It was time to shed some tears
(Pre Chorus)
My world opened up
It all became so clear
The dreams I once had
The once I held so dear
All would come to rest when I came to realize
It’s useless to digress
Much worse to disguise
(Chorus)
I once dreamt what I hoped to be
And hoped for life to be what I dreamt to find
But when it comes to reality
Life is not a figment of the mind
Not a figment of the mind
Nooooooooooo!!!!
Nooooooooooo!!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Death became a fact
Life the new uncertainty
I would go through life
Wondering why it has to be
But there’s calm after the storm
And healing after the wound
Reality becomes the norm
Love comes calling soon
My world opened up
It all became so clear
The dreams I once had
The once I held so dear
All would come to rest when I came to realize
It’s useless to digress
Much worse to disguise
I once dreamt what I hoped to be
And hoped for life to be what I dreamt to find
But when it comes to reality
Life is not a figment of the mind
Nooooooooooo!!!!
Nooooooooooo!!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Once a child collecting memories
Running wild
Not knowing what life would bring
I once dreamt what I hoped to be
And hoped for life to be what I dreamt to find
But when it comes to reality
Life is not a figment of the mind
I once dreamt what I hoped to be
And hoped for life to be what I dreamt to find
But when it comes to reality
Life is not a figment of the mind
Not a figment of the mind
Nooooooooooo!!!!
Life is not a figment of the mind
Not a figment of the mind
