Only A Dream
Daytime comes and goes,
Nighttime comes and I fall asleep and begin to dream,
I dream of an old funeral coach , driven by four black horses,
and the driver who had on a black tailcoat and black top hat to match,
the lights all lit up on the sides and the flowers on the top.
As I glanced in the back I noticed a coffin,
As I tried to open the doors to see who was inside the coffin,
they remained locked ; no matter how hard I tried they would not budge.
Yet I heard a voice reply it is " Only A Dream ".
Yet the black funeral coach with the four black horses and the
driver with a black tailcoat and the black top hat to match, along
with the lights all lit up on the sides and the flowers on the top,
Is yours.
The doors in the back remain locked because it is you inside the coffin and your time has not come.
It represents your everyday struggles and choices made in life.
Yet you will dream this dream again and when you do and are
able to open the locks and lift the lid of the coffin, and see your-
self inside, then you know I'am Bringing you Home to Me.
Because your time has not come yet. So I say to you my son
wake up now wake up now for it i Only A Dream.
Your time has not come to come home to Me, so wake up my son
For it is only a dream.
