Dreaming and Sleeping

We are dreaming of tomorrow,
and tomorrow isn't coming;
we are dreaming of a glory
that we don't really want.
We are dreaming of a new day
when the new day's here already.
We are running from the battle
when it's one that must be fought.
We are listening for the calling
but never really heeding,
hoping for the future
when the future's only plans.
Dreaming of the wisdom
that we are dodging daily.
Praying for a savior
when salvation's in our hands.
And still we sleep.
And still we pray.
And still we fear...
And still we sleep................
