"Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."

Now it’s gone
I used to look around
Blue skies, solid ground
Trees so luscious and green
Nature is a beautiful thing
But now it’s withering
Leaves slowly subsiding
Oaks turn to ashes
It gone before life flashes
Golden sunsets turned black
There is no going back
Bags flying by
This earth will soon die
Nature is a beautiful thing
Before man was roaming
Flowers are blooming
Now that we are leaving
