A Girl Who Dreams

The dreams I didn't think I had
Keep me awake at night
Whisper to me every break of day
That darkness will always become light

Of purity and hope they talk
Of vanishing of unbroken pains
They promise there will come a day
When nothing but joy remains

That I can be new and different
And better than last year
If I'm repented from my faults and sins
If I've lived and learned, they swear

I should trust and rely on love
Kill my own heart's winter, break my fall
Be a light in this forsaken world
With my smile bring spring and summer to all

I wonder if dreams can bring promises
Keep heart and soul safe and sound
Guide, nurture and help us survive
When love is nowhere to be found

Dreams may not answer our questions
Maybe they just softly take us where
Reality can be a nicer place
A heaven on earth right here

I wish my dreams always will heal me
When there is nothing left to do
Every time hope abandons me to bleed to death
Beside my illusions made of every You

But you will probably never find out about it
For you everything will ever be as it seems
The only thing you will know for sure
Is that I'm a girl who dreams
