Analysis of Through A Dream



Perhaps we've met to share, maybe through a scheme.
Perhaps we've met to care, maybe through a dream.

Perhaps we've met to meld, maybe through a hold.
Perhaps we've met to build, maybe through a fold.

Perhaps we've met to flow, maybe through a goal.
Perhaps we've met to grow, maybe through a role.

Perhaps we've met to swing, maybe through a dance.
Perhaps we've met to cling, maybe through a trance.

Perhaps we've met to walk, maybe through a wild.
Perhaps we've met to talk, maybe through a child.

Perhaps we've met to live, maybe through a fate.
Perhaps we've met to give, maybe through a mate.
