Awake at Last Lyrics

Was it a dream or something more

It felt so real, so strange

And yet here I am awake at last

The grass beneath me feels so cool, so still

The world has stopped its twisting will

No flamingos, no mad captive

Just quiet skies and the shade of a tree

Awake at last, the dream is gone

The whispers fade with the morning sun

A world of nonsense now set free

But Wonderland will always stay with me

The ticking clock, the steady sound

No racing hearts, no upside down

And yet I feel its echo near

A memory sweet, a touch of fear

Perhaps it wasn't real

But then why do I still hear the laughter

See the grin, feel the madness within

Maybe Wonderland never truly leaves us

Was it the rabbit, was it the foal

That led me to that world at all

A leading moment, a passing grace

A mad wild dance through time and space

Awake at last, the dream is gone

Yet its spirit lingers on and on

Though I've returned, I'll always see

A piece of Wonderland lives in me

Perhaps dreams are just another kind of waking

Or perhaps waking is just another kind of dream
