“Reality Is Dreaming”

[Written in 2000 – For Reality, Lisa’s Nephew, a little boy whom I happen to know ‘Down Under’, with Love]

Reality’s a boy

About five apples tall

Reality’s a dream

An Angel to us all

His Mama doesn’t know it

Or maybe she forgot

Reality’s a treasure

The kind that can’t be bought

(Chorus)

Reality is dreaming

Of a much better life

He goes to bed still hungry

For Mama’s tender touch

Reality is dreaming

Of a warm sunny day

When Mom won’t be so busy

When she’ll come out to play

Reality is sleeping

In a place far from screams

Dream, dream

Sweet Reality, dream

Reality’s a Star

Life sparkles in his eyes

Reality’s a boy

With a heart twice his size

His Auntie Lisa knows it

It’s why she holds him so

But Auntie’s love can’t hide

All that Mommy’s can’t show

(Bridge)

You’d think his Mom would rock him

And hold him to her heart

Why, this boy’s just so precious

Reality’s a Star!

(Chorus)

Reality is dreaming

Of a much better life

He goes to bed still hungry

For Mama’s tender touch

Reality is dreaming

Of a warm sunny day

When Mom won’t be so busy

When she’ll come out to play

Reality is sleeping

In a place far from screams

Dream, dream...

Sweet Reality, dream

Reality’s a boy

About five apples tall

Reality’s a dream

An Angel to us all

His Mama doesn’t know it

Or maybe she forgot

Reality’s a treasure

The kind that can’t be bought
