If sometimes dreams

bring less pretty scenes

and memories linger

don't just point the finger

they say you can't remember pain

and sleeping naked in the rain

a dream is a dream

and awake is awake

so when in the sleep world

your body does break

the spirit never did

like now when you awake

and when the dream fades

and the present becomes real

and the nightmares you made

are no longer the deal

rejoice you are here

your freedom no one could steal

lay down close your eyes

climb back into the bed

with visions of sugarplums dancing in your head.

Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus

the struggle for freedom is right and it's just

the motives of the makers not important you see

it ain't about nothin'

if the mind is pain free

so now back to bed

with a calm in my head

and though others know not

and thank not the dead

the price of their peace

purchased with blood and pain

makes me see the sun

shining still through the rain
