Alive

Theres rain falling down
outside.
I can hear the world crying
tonight.
Maybe its real.
Maybe its in my mind.
Maybe im lying
im alive.

Are we alive?
Are we dreaming?

I feel the sky screaming
inside.
Anger and thunder driving
the light.
It'll hit.
It'll crash.
They can worry
we will survive.

The Ice cracks, fire screams
the world, its feeling again
and we, oh we, were standing
tall and alive

we all die
we're alive
we are dreaming
we're alive

Wind cools the heat
a calm thats needed.
Hear the quiet
take a breath.
Be steady.
Be ready.

no peace
without fight
no life
without death
no reason
without emotion
no courage
without fear

we are dreaming alive

About this poem:
How do you know your alive?
Do you know when you are dreaming?
Does it matter which is which?
Perhaps its all perception. Perhaps our dreams are just as much reality while we are in them.
And in both cases, it is up to us to live in them.

I believe this world is worth waking up too, and going to sleep for.
I believe this world dreams just as we do.

Very good contrast on life and where we end up with Ewoky and so are the rest that take place in between...

Thanks
