As I awake from my sleep

And reflect on the life I keep

I've tried so many different ways

And watched each one of them decay

Clouds close in, curtains around my brain

This world of finance is driving me insane

I look in the mirror and see my face

Is that a smile or just a grimace?

As I shed a silent tear

My hands begin to shake with that inner fear

It's hard to know what to do

When everyone relies on you

A mortgage, a car, a wife and two kids

I'm fed up with my job, what a way to live

I'm on the beach

With the sea lapping round my feet

It's only a dream

It's only a dream

It's only a dream

Life is not what it seems

Just a dream
