I CAN TELL YOU'RE DREAMIN'

I can tell you're dreamin',

I can see it in your eyes.

I can tell you're dreamin',

I can hear it in your sighs.

And all the rest won't matter;

just unspoken relms of thought.

Yeah, I can tell you're dreamin'

all about the things you're not.



You couldn't change the feeling,

'said you'd like to kill yourself.

New lies, they'd been revealing

all the truth, and not much else.

A tender-hearted girl,

she's so far away from home.

My tender-hearted girl,

she still thinks she's all alone.



A wise man, so he told me...

"Straight ahead, old dead man's curve."

A blind man, so he showed me...

"So much more that I'll observe."

So why could not she make it,

down her path of lined up dreams?

She had it all before her.

(Well, at least that's how it seems.)



She can tell I'm dreamin',

she can see it my eyes.

She can tell I'm dreamin',

she can hear it in my sighs.

And all the rest won't matter;

just unspoken relms of thought.

Yeah, she can tell I'm dreamin'

all about the things she's got.

The past, even though dark as you portray isn’t always gloomy. The past tribulations, temptations and tests are lives vital lessons. These are experiences that shape our future. When someone breaks your heart, it means he wasn’t for you or you have to learn through setbacks, life is never a straight graph. Love is real life, one has to meet the challenges.

It is so encouraging you advice that one should never give up. What a great society we would have if people never lose hope. Sometimes sitting alone is time for self recreation, discovery and meditation. it results into a new refurbished and energized person.

Most importantly, God is the master planner, whoever believes and trusts in him should not worry. God’s plans are never in vain. It is so inspiring that you believe in god. That is the beginning of wisdom and happiness.

The flow is great and the rhetoric question leaves room for self realization and debate. The rhyming compounded with symbolism lends an inspiring tone. This is a hopeful piece that sounds optimistic bells. Life is not all gloom even in stress. This is the role of writers.

It is a great piece Dorian.
