The Flower (Did You Dream Of Unicorns?)"
By Tom Rapp

Did you dream of unicorns?
Did you dream of broken horns?
Did you dream of roses
Or did you dream of thorns?

You knew that people die
Before their bodies do
He said: Why not use your body
Before it uses you?
Afraid inside your loneliness
Your rules say you are cold
He warmly smiles, softly says:
Your body's not your soul

Skin as soft as eyes
Words as soft as lies
Is it love or just a smile
That fades before it dies?

The wizard at midnight says
He has new flowers for old
But in the dawn of this new morning
Will those new flowers grow?
If he takes up his magic
Smiles says he has to run
You fear the flowers will not grow
If he takes away the sun

Skin as soft as eyes
Words as soft as lies
Is it love or just a smile
That fades before it dies?

The sound of flowers opening
In a silent blush
Will the petals open
Or will they all be crushed?
Jesus jesus jesus jesus
As the wafer breaks
Lord we are not worthy
To enter in this place

Then you dream of unicorns
Then you dream of golden horns
Then you dream of roses
And then you dream no more
