THE STRANGE MAN
That night I fell asleep and slipped into a dream
Caught the sight of a flickering light
The start of it it seemed
The things I do every day played the starring role
I now believe that this was a test
To see if I had a soul
Took place back home
The land I know
The dream so clear
The dream I fear
Trying to make the top of the hill
The reason I don't know why
The winding road I knew as a child looked the same to me
I had to cross the rickety bridge to get where I wanted to go
Then appeared the strange man who questioned my destiny
I asked the man
If I could cross
He spoke "go on"
I suddenly felt lost
As I crossed I thought of the strange man
With a thundering voice
The light blinding me
As my foot touched the ground
The heat burning me
The strange man laughing
