Hey! Mr. Sandman ............................OVER HERE!

Where does sleep come from?
That’s what I'd like to know.
Could you please show me the way?
That’s the place I would like to go

Your eyelids should get real heavy
Or that’s what they are supposed to do
Your troubles all magically melt away
So if you find it, you’ll tell me wont you?

My eyelids stay the same weight
Whether they are up or are down
I wonder if the sandman
Has lost my address here in this town?

I've tried everything to get there
Even something’s, some might say, you should not
But if you ask me the next day, when did I eventually fall?
The answer is, I forgot!

I forgot to actually sleep that is
Not one specific moment in time
You see, there is something that's keeping me out of
The world of dreams, a world so sublime

My worry, is everyone's worries
All of them big, and all of them small
It doesn’t mater what race or colour you are
Whether short in stature or tall

You see, for some unknown reason
Well, unknown at least to me
I seemed to take on the worries of the world
Whilst watching my own and mankind's history.

Things fell in to place like never before
A lot of things began to make perfect sense
The westernised teaching of linear timelines
Were correct timelines, under false pretence?

Of course history repeats itself
Because of the cyclic nature history possesses
Like the seasons, they come and they go,
Like religion with god's and goddesses

But living in real time as we do
Like the earth orbits the sun in a straight line
If you look from a far enough viewpoint
You see a circle becoming easier to define

We're about to come full circle again
The season of goodwill is almost upon us now
The time where we are supposed to be glad to be alive
Where we momentarily forget the why? The who? The how?

It's a time of forgiveness anyway
That’s what ALL good books will have us believe
Let’s see if a globe full of forgiveness
From the impossible to the possible achieve

Achieve sexual equality on a global scale
Achieve global education to save us all
Achieve miracles of modern wonder every day
In a solution, where no-one has to fall.

Isn’t this the greatest gift anyone could possible give?
To a person whom they truly love
A promise of a brighter future in reasoning and logic
No longer bowing to an immortal from above

Teaching the world new songs to sing
Of understanding, love, sorrows and grief’s
Because what saves us all in the end
Is the fact we do not have to sacrifice our beliefs

The belief that what we are taught
Is just as right as it is all wrong
The fact no-one saw an easy option out
Was because we have been doing it, all along.

We are used to a change of things daily
At a time more related to sinning
Remember for every single midnight
Something dies, but for something else ....... it's a beginning!
