Dream & Sleep
Oh, Dear Dream,
We are friends by nature,
Holding everything like a creature.
Oh, Dear Sleep,
We are enemies in reality
You make human beings your servants,
Ruling their world in the dark
When everything grows dim.
Oh, Dear Dream,
Yes, they cannot do without me.
I am the third partner to air and water.
But you, they chase tirelessly,
At dawn and at dusk.
Oh, Dear Sleep,
Let them keep pursuing me,
I will lead them to greatness,
And their goals will be certain.
Oh, Dear Dream,
You bring goals and greatness,
But I bring health and peace.
Let them lose me, and life slips away.
Oh, Dear Sleep,
Let them bandon me,
And their life becomes meaningless.
Sleep & Dream
Since we have come this far,
We both have gifts to offer
We are still friends, not enemies.
