TAKE ME AWAY

ONCE UPON this day in a matter of seconds
Under this bright white sun I chanced to dream
Just minding my mind and nothing more - was it a dream?

With  deep blue skies and no device in hand
there came a lady across the far away
And she whispered something  into my ear

Take me away -- from this cloud
Don't you wait - do it now
Take me away - it's too loud
Don't you wait - do it now

I couldn't understand what it meant
Her oval eyes so full of light
And a touch of electricity in the air

She came to me on a silver plate
Thru a hole within the sky
Glimmering light beyond all time

And she yelled...

Take me away -- from this cloud
Don't you wait - do it now
Take me away - it's too loud
Don't you wait - do it now

I tried to open my eyes but then realized
the dream was not imagined but here and now
delusion skipped town -- it left me profound

She touched my face and between the seconds
I saw an eternity of a different place
full of war and hate much like here

And she yelled...

Take me away -- from this cloud
Don't you wait - save me now
Take me away - it's too loud
Don't you wait - do it now
