A dying man and his final thoughts

"Slipped Away Dreaming"

Did I deny myself and the world of all my best now
Did I do everything I could to get a free pass now
Well it's all over and I'm just starting to get it now
My mind is screaming like a Banshee and it's moving to fast now

Slipping in and out of consciousness I feel like flying
The white lights are shining so bright I can't stop crying
As I lay me down to sleep my soul keeps trying
To float through the ceiling of my being in simple timing

Well I had these final thoughts as I lay here wondering
In a world we live in now that can't stop all the plundering
Is the Second Coming a gesture of Power or Loving
Cause I just can't see the point of all this sundering

She whispered Daddy I'm so glad that I knew ya
I heard a voice inside my head say hallelujah
Well I gathered all of my strength with everything that I believed in
And she squeezed my hand as I...Slipped Away Dreaming

Slipped Away Dreaming, Slipped Away Dreaming, Slipped Away Dreaming, Slipped Away Dreaming, Slipped Away Dreaming…
