Death close to my mind

They travel through my dreams

Every night as my motionless body is on God's time

Sometimes I dream of the love of my life

I dream of having beautiful children

And being his wife

At times I dream of phony friends

And of people who have hurt me

I dream of being a new born baby

And my mother giving birth to me

I dream of sinful lust

And of friends I do not trust

I dream of a land of bliss

I dreamt Damien Marley gave me a kiss

I dream of being rich

I dream of success

As my mind quickly drips

My mind drips with fear

That in my life there will be no success

And I won't get anywhere

I dream of my family

I dreamt I wiped my mama's tears away

I dreamt I diminished her worries so she could again feel free

I dreamt I brought back her sons to fill her soul with glee

I dreamt my father was with me

And I gave him a hug

I dreamt he was himself again

And I forgave him for everything he has done

I dreamt of Africa

I dreamt there was a cure for aids

I dreamt I was close to an Angel

She stayed by my side

In this dream bleeding to death from a stray bullet

Then in the street I died

I dream of Jamaica

I dream of paradise

I dream of the land

And of a country without crime

I dreamt I was driving down the highway in New York

Dennis Brown kept my company

In that dream he was sitting right next to me

I dreamt that in that dream

The wind slowly trickled through my hair

I dreamt I was leaving

But I wasn't going anywhere

I dreamt of Central Park

That generously lent me its shade

So I could be with my lover for just one day

I dreamt of Christmas

I saw Santa in my house

He leaned over to kiss my cheek

And he was as quiet as a mouse

I dreamt Jesus was right before me

He healed all who were sick

I dreamt he touched my soul and I became saved

I was healed within

No longer would I sin

I dreamt I was on the Titanic

But like Rose I did not drown

Instead I rose to the top

And screamed till I was found

I dreamt me and Biggie were at the same party

I was only seventeen and he got a drink for me

I dreamt I was dancing on the biggest brightest stage

I pranced on my toes as the music melodically played.

I dreamt I was happy

I dreamt I was okay

I think about these things each and every day

My dreams do not leave me

They are a part of my soul

They keep my company

When the world the dark and cold.
