Borrowed dreams 🌙

Calling out a forgotten name

I saw an ocean made of moonlight
A paper boat upon the blue
Someone was wishing on a shooting star
And somehow I was wishing too

Every night, another door
Another life I've never known
Why do all these distant dreams
Feel like places I call home?

I woke up with a dream that wasn't mine
A sky I'd never seen, a life beyond my eyes
Maybe every little dream I leave behind
Is a secret piece of me I'm trying to find

If I'm lost between the stars tonight
I'll follow every spark until I find the light
Maybe these borrowed dreams were meant to show
The girl I've always been but never got to know

I saw a room above the clouds
With photographs across the wall
A thousand versions of tomorrow
Waiting for me to make the call

I saw myself beneath the sunrise
Standing where the wild winds blow
There was a road without a map
And somehow I already knew where to go

Every night, the picture grows
Every secret starts to show
Maybe what I'm searching for
Was inside me all along

I woke up with a dream that wasn't mine
A sky I'd never seen, a life beyond my eyes
Maybe every little dream I leave behind
Is a secret piece of me I'm trying to find

If I'm lost between the stars tonight
I'll follow every spark until I find the light
Maybe these borrowed dreams were meant to show
The girl I've always been but never got to know

Tonight, I won't close my eyes and run
Tonight, I'll stay beneath the sun
No more asking whose dream this is
No more wondering what I missed

The stars don't tell me where to go
They only show me what I know
I take a breath, I turn around
And finally hear my own heart's sound

I woke up with a dream that wasn't mine
But now I see the colors hiding in my eyes
Every little broken wish I left behind
Was leading me to who I'm meant to find

And if the whole sky disappears tonight
I'll make my own constellation out of light
Those borrowed dreams were never mine to keep
They were little pieces of the girl inside of me

Morning sunlight through my window
The dream is fading with the night
I open up my little notebook
And draw the symbol shining bright

Maybe dreams are not borrowed
Maybe they were always mine
Waiting somewhere in the darkness
For me to finally open my eyes.
