Analysis of I Dream



I dreamed the world passed me by
I did not cry but sigh
Not in sadness but in gladness
I never wanted to change with the time
I only wanted to be left behind
In my world created for me
Is where I will always be free
Not to follow another's path
But instead walk and make my way
Never to be fooled and led astray
