There’s a feeling that haunts me tonight.

As I think of all I have learned

And all have seen

It tends to give me a fright.

Powerless,

That is what I am.

I don’t choose at all.

I just watch the pieces fall.

I am shown that there is a future.

I see it every time I sleep.

But the fact that I can’t control it

Makes me want to lie down and weep.

Right now in my sleep all is well

But I know the truth.

For in the light

Is where my true thoughts dwell.

When it is time I never know

My dreams tell me,

But reading a dream

Is like lighting fire in snow.

I have no control

I have no power

So I ask of you 

To free my soul.

Show me the light

Or leave me 

In the dark

Knowing half doesn’t seem right.
