I made a bed to lie in

I made a bed to lie in
A bed of all my dreams
The ones that felt most comfortable
Brought happiness and beamed

But then I had a nightmare
And it brought in all the doubt
I thought if I could think those things
I should stop the dreaming spout

So I lay there in that empty bed
for years and years and years
afraid to dream in case it brought
back all my older fears

But then one day I saw a child
who bubbled near my bed
and from her mouth the most amazing thing - 
this is what she said

"You get to dream all the dreams
this lifetime that you can
and if you have one you don't like
...think of another one instead"

And since that day I lay in a bed
not just made of dreams
it's made of expectations
and it's better by far so far yes far

it's better by far it seems
