I Am a Dreamer Too

The heat of the morning sun

Devours my flesh

As hot perspiration boils out of its furrows

It's been a long busy day

But the sweat sweeping across my brow

Is still fresh

Tears are in my eyes

When I sighted that little bird

Singing across the blue sky

Little bird of destiny

That outwits the falconer

And survived the guns of wily hunters

Will you bear my burdens

On your flapping wings?

Will you sing to the denizens of the future

That I am a dreamer too?

Sitting on the couch of patience

Waiting for the dawn of better days
