You're sitting all alone,
looking at the ceiling.
Listening to sounds outside,
cars honking, bells pealing. 

Looking at the blades,
of the fan rotating slowly.
You nod off for a while,
feeling blue and lonely. 

As you close your eyes,
and enter the dreamy universe.
Meet new and exciting characters,
with whom you can converse. 

Experience things you never felt,
things you never saw.
The emotions hiding deep down inside,
Your strengths, and your flaws. 

Oh, it all starts with a dream.
Thoughts that spread beyond realm,
some clear, some in a steam.
Like scary ones on the night of Halloween. 

You wake up in the morning,
the sun's up,shining bright.
You stretch and yawn,
see nature's beauty, what a sight.  

By the end of the day,
you've done a lot.
Had many experiences,
Time to sleep on the cot! 

Sleeping on a bed, floor or roof,
it's one and the same.
But the one thing that's common,
is the sleep that came. 

And all the things that sleep brought,
the mystical thoughts of yours.
Ideas, solutions, or problems
the cat's meow or the lion's roar. 

Oh, it all starts with a dream.
The fantastic adventures that seem,
to pass by in a blink of a scene.
And it all happens in a night sleep-routine. 

As you close your eyes,
and breathe in.
All those things, 
that come from within. 

What happened in the day,
seems to reflect at night.
All the decisions you made,
A new friendship or a fight. 

When you acted without thinking,
or something else you regret.
Whether it's just a little word,
or a very expensive debt. 

You're confused on a decision at work,
or puzzled by a math problem in school.
Maybe you did something wrong,
or somebody made you look like a fool. 

Oh, it all starts with a dream.
The endless possibilities.
The moments that make you scream,
or thoughts, that make you gleam.
 
Well, it all starts with a dream.
