Floyd dream
"I have a dream"
"I can't breathe.."
Is someone taking air from me
Is this the end of nature
not being able to breed wind
anymore
"I can't breathe"
My lungs drowned in questioning.
where the hell is freedom?
Where does life stand,
Giving essence and sense?
Time has come to be
Time has come to say
Time has come to dare
America, dream your future
sleep you nightmare.
