The Colors Have Gone

As I drift off to sleep,
There's a beat in my head
Of the clock that is ticking,
As I lay in my bed

I'm deep in my realm,
The hours pass by
Seeing no beauty,
And no warmth in the sky

No colors, no feelings,
Everything’s dead
Still, like the words
from the books i have read.


Still I'm in deep,
This dream is so bland
The people are kind,
but they don't understand

The blessing of color,
And what they all mean
Reveals the true knowledge,
Of how things are seen

Yet there's no color,
It's all black and white
This dream keep replaying,
When I sleep every night
