Earth Was the Dream

I have been away so long,
trapped upon the Earth
How could I forget this place,
and lose it from the moment of my birth?

Now the sleep has left my eyes,
and I tremble as I feel
my consciousness widening
in this world that's realer than real.

It's like Earth was the dream,
a passing illusion,
as permanent as a snowflake
on your scarf when you walk in the door.

Oh Earth was the dream,
a tattered mirage of before.
Trapped inside a fantasy,
fumbling and searching for more.

Surrounded by flowers in bloom,
are they lilies made of sapphire?
I hear their colors and see their music
like rainbows in a choir.

But do I hear a voice?
Whispering louder
A breath in my ear since I came,
singing and calling my name.

Oh where do I go now
and what do I do now
in this everlasting day?
