Dream Walking – Falling Through Memories

Driving in to the sunset

Radio playing something or other

Trees and yellow lines

Passing almost unnoticed

I floated off into my past

I have lived many lives

I’ve been the scared lonely child

The bad ass Marine

                                            I’ve carried a gun

Lived the life of a hermit

I’ve traveled the country without a care in the world

I’ve done most everything that I’ve ever wanted to do

Reliving those lives today

Was surreal

I can’t put into words

The feelings that I experienced

I lived the life of fear again

                  I felt the gun in my belt as I walked into the night

I felt the raindrops soak my shirt

On my ride to the hospital

I stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon

It was all real

I lived a lifetime

In one little trip into the sunset

I miss some of the things

But I don’t miss most of them

I think most of all

I just want all of the world to get along

And live in peace

I don’t get all of the arguing and fighting

I think that if the world could share a sunset drive

And forget their beliefs for a while

That maybe, just maybe

We would stop hating each other.

But what do I know

I’m just a dreamer
