An Alternate reality???????



“I don’t know whether I am alive and dreaming..
or dead and remembering…
How can you tell what’s dream and what’s real
when you cant even tell when you are awake or when you are asleep..”
-Johnny Got is gun (1971)-

Is this all real?....are u awake??...how can u be so sure??
u might be sleeping…n this could be just a dream…
u might be brain damaged n this could all be just ur imagination….
or perhaps u r under influence n all this might be just another hallucination…
or as said in the movie Johnny Got his gun, we might even be dead and remembering…

Whether it’s a dream, an imagination or a hallucination…
it all seems so real..it all feels so real…
how do we know it feels real??...
have we ever seen REAL??...have we ever felt REAL???....
well who knows…everything we know just maybe parts of our dreams…
if these are all dreams what might be going on in the REAL world??...
will things be different???...how long have we been sleeping??...
how long have we been out of our minds…
or how long have we been dead???..
is there anything beyond the real world???...
an alternate reality??..or a parallel universe???...
confusing yeah???

Soldier of Fortune...


I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When Id take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel Im growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin round
I guess Ill always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times Ive been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that youre not here

Now I feel Im growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin round
I guess Ill always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin round
I guess Ill always be
A soldier of fortune
