Leo Yang, “Nocturne”

Nocturne

Night The sun closes its eyes Whisper a sweet dream Goodnight

I I stayed up all night Pondering my future One more sleepless night

If dreamer can incept subconscious mind Would I be able to trust what I see Would I ever recall what I dream

And I can see the boy In his childhood dream He was told there is nothing that he cannot be He doesn’t know that it’s not easy

Time It waits for no one Slips through my finger I lost count of mine

I I’m walking through time Aimlessly wander there’s nothing to find

If gravity distort space and light Would I be able to trust what I see Would I be able to follow my dream

And I can see the boy In his teenage dream He was told there is nothing that he cannot be He learned to face the reality

Mom and dad told me That I can be anyone I want Little fires in my heart Try not to prove them wrong

Now he has family He told his kids They can be anything that they wanted to be He always teach ‘em how to dream
