A Bedtime Story
Let me tell you a bedtime story
Taken from the sacred scroll
Of the ancient one who greets you
When your nightmares take their toll
If it takes ten thousand dreams
He will help you to stand tall
Because he has determination
Strong enough to do it all
Takes it away
From the past he'll bring you visions
That you never knew you had
Because you can't face the reality
For fear of going mad
He will take away the memories
Of a long forgotten youth
Yet you'll wake every night screaming
With your eyes showing the truth
Takes it away
While you sleep unconsciously
Your mind is sharp and well aware
Of the pain and vivid pictures
That should never have been there
And when you wake up in the morning
With sweat pouring down your face
You'll know that you've been taken somewhere
But you won't recall the place
Takes it away
The ancient one is with you
And by day he will console
But at night he'll keep you dreaming
Because your name is on the scroll
