Living the Dream

We fade into the winter mist of fading memory/ All that once cost us dear is now completely free/ Not sullen or downtrodden/ But dancing light and free/ Every fool's errand we attempt becomes an heroic quest/ Each cruel hoax on us is just an innocent jest/ In our yearning for nostalgia/ We create an unreality/ We see again only what we want/ Forgetting the pain we went through/ On the journey to be free
