Visions In Sleep

Rise up...!
 ♪
 Atop this precipice, I sit and watch as the beasts wander the fields
 From left to right, all in their places except for one!
 He grazes alone and though his keeper turns a blind eye!
 He stays within his confines!
 These dreams are temporary, but
 The memories are worth their weight in gold (their weight in gold)
 And when the lines have all faded from the sand, I hope
 Their borders hold me in
 I've retraced lines on the maps
 That outline the fictitious fates that I've created
 To make a way for myself
 Above the walls
 And out from under the loving hands
 That held me close!
 That held me close!
 That kept me in!
 These dreams are temporary, but
 The memories are worth their weight in gold (their weight in gold)
 And when the lines have all faded from the sand, I hope
 Their borders hold me in
 I've mapped the constellations for years!
 But they haven't proven trustworthy just yet!
 I've stood on the shoulders of giants!
 But never saw past my own shadow!
 Past my own shadow, oh no...!
 Oh!
 Why have I strayed
 Why have I strayed
 Why have I strayed beyond your reach?!
 Why have I strayed
 Why have I strayed
 Why have I strayed beyond your reach?!
 These dreams are temporary, but
 The memories are worth their weight in gold (their weight in gold)
 And when the lines have all faded from the sand, I hope
 Their borders hold me in
 Rise up...!
