Gambler’s Dream *

Sometimes the world moves with you
Embrace the people helping you
I had an oak heart, falling from the start
Driven through the heart, captured while on guard

If I’m caught running with the wolves I’ll die slow
Imagination moves my soul into a slipstream of hope

Ascend, silver dollar heads or tails
Fly free, gravity is bound to fail
I have a sharp mind, convicted I will find
Assisted by the kind, convinced there are no signs

It’s a gambler’s dream
In a dried-up stream
It’s a gambler’s dream
In a dried-up stream

At times, I run so fast I break away
Moving, no such thing as ball and chain
I’ve held so many breaths, it’s time that I confess
I’ve never had success, nevertheless I have been blessed
