A Gentle Awakening

[Verse 1]
Put down the paper, baby
I had a dream at dawn
A terrible storm blew over
Covered up the morning sun
Beyond I heard a lullaby
So peaceful and serene
Next thing I knew I eased into
A gentle awakening

[Verse 2]
The people on the city streets
The farmers on the plains
All walking in the lucid dream
While the sky is set aflame
They soon will hear a quiet tune
So peaceful and serene
Then they may too may ease into
A gentle awakening

[Bridge]
Waiting through a waning moon
An unknown masquerade
Hear the wounded mockingbird
A mournful serenade

[Verse 2]
The people on the city streets
The farmers on the plains
All walking in the lucid dream
While the sky is set aflame
They soon will hear a quiet tune
So peaceful and serene
Then they might too may ease into
A gentle awakening
