Once, when I was young
I dreamed of being a knight,
Fighting monsters and saving
The Princess in need.
Once, when I was broke
I dreamed of being whole,
Working with passion, not slaving
For an evil Queen.
Once, when I was free
I dreamt of being chosen
Writing and flying and playing
Cavorting with my peer.
Now, when I am old
And grey, dreaming of what may
Have been if you had gave
Your heart to me.
