my dreams float like balloons in a blue sky
above forest and farms, a castle with moat
and all the fairy-tale landscape lying nearby
my dreams float
in among a sea of stars I lie afloat
and waves seem as words to my eye
showing me a story my father wrote
of magical worlds to which he would fly
to adventures on islands in seas remote
and to these lands I cannot deny
my dreams float
