What Did You See?
by
Mark M. DeRobertis
When you laid down...you had a dream
You closed your eyes...how did it seem
To live a life...in luxury
What did you feel...what did you see
A demon dance...angelic stance
A cherub glee...what did you see
A pair of horns...a crown of thorns
St. Peter’s fee...what did you see
Did you fade away...had you time to pray
Will you talk to me...just what did you see
A pitching fork...a baby stork
A buzzing bee...what did you see
A pearly gate...demonic fate
A barren tree...what did you see
Does anyone escape...dreaming in the night
0r when you close your eyes...are you sleeping light
When people fall asleep...what goes through their head
Will they return again...or will they instead...remain...so dead
Is that what you want...die in your sleep
You’d rather wake up
But who really knows...when time is up
It’s not up to you
Or anyone...alive today
But who can say
About the time...that’s left to you
You do your best...do what you can
To understand
Revealing all...you never knew
The world in our mind is still full of mystery
And all that I know is my dreams are part of me
If someone could see what another hides inside
Would they be impressed or wish never had they tried
Is it darkness...is it light
Is it madness...is it right
The world in our mind is still full of mystery
And all that I know is my dreams are part of me
If someone could see what another hides inside
Would they be impressed or wish never had they tried
Is it darkness...is it light
Is it madness...is it right
One more time around the block you go
Almost like a carousel or so
Who’s to say when it will slow or stop
So all the people on the ride could then get off
But one day the ride will finally quit
Take your time because this could be it
Will you move aside when it’s your turn
Just try to keep in mind you got a lot to learn
When you lay down for a rest or to sleep
Don’t be so sure it’s your life you will keep
When I’m asleep you can sure bet on me
I will remember the things I will see
