“It’s all been a dream but you and I, that’s real”
Milky Way Dreams
Reflection…looking back and knowing what must be left behind…what no longer serves you
…a Gateway forward
Awakening from the Dream of History…then one makes the joyous commitment to move forward
…consciously creating the Future….
lyrics
Milky Way Dreams
There’s a place I go to find my way
Spent some time there just the other day
All relations to the past are gone
All tomorrows falling from the throne I put them on
No investments…no more scheming mind
Left my troubles rotting on the vine
Open road just begging for a ride.
Looking back now one last time
Passing through like yesterday’s wine
Wondering if I’ve ever seen the light of day
Blinded by the Bright Lights on the way……Yeah yeh
Now I got the wind at my back
Got the sunshine in my face
Seeing better now where I‘m going
Look to me like a better place
Saw a star through the smoke and screens
Out there in the Milky Way Dreams
In a flash another answer came
This is it…nothing left to explain
(Chorus)
I can promise those days are over
Once a fool …now a knower
And a whole lot of life left to lead
Holdin on to what was always
History’s just a passing phase
No more walls left for us to peel
It’s all been a dream but You and I are Real…that’s Real
(B-section)
Another broken promise passing by
Didn’t care how hard you tried
Take a hold of shifting sand
Disappears right through your hand
Satisfied and unsatisfied
On the wheel it’s all the same
Going to make you cry
Time to say good-by
Up and Down and Away.
Borderline …we just crossed over
High on a moon-lite beam
Feel your arms around my shoulders
Safe inside the Golden Stream
Letting go an even keel
Punch a hole through the 7 seals
Nothing wrong with being extreme
Don’t you want to hear yourself scream?
(Chorus)
I can promise those days are over
Once a fool but now a Knower
And a whole lot of life left to lead
Holdin on to what was Always
History’s just a passing phase
No more walls left for us to peel
It’s all been a dream but you and I are Real…that’s Real
