Sweet Dreams -

It's bad enough to not be understood
 But to be misunderstood is worse
  I've practiced more than I thought I should
   Yet I still can't get to the verse

The attainable dream is in reach but then
 I wasn't ready for the unicorn
  Everything I wish that I could teach my friend
   Leaves both our hearts shattered and torn

I know and do believe; don't wanna make-believe
 'Cause fairies and goblins can't dance
  By now I should have received the long-awaited reprieve
   My fifty-fourth, fifty-fifth, and sixth chance

Don't wanna keep no score 'bout what was said before
 To the rules of the game I'm no slave
  But I can try to restore that which was ripped from the core
   With thanks for the gift that you gave

If hope ain't hope I won't be able to cope
 'Cause the vista's been dim for a while
  Though it's a slippery slope I'm makin' use of the rope
   And I'm stretchin' my inch to a mile

You need to feel I'm sincere 'cause I can handle it here
 And my resolve is the kind that won't fade
  You can shrug off the fear; although it seems very near
   You will awaken to find that I've stayed . . . .
