I loved this tiny story the moment I read it, and I couldn't help but put it to music.

Thanks, missamerica!!

LYRICS:

I am a soul trapped in a body
I get to escape this prison when I dream
When I dream

about sunsets
about girls
about saturday morning cartoons
and going to work with dad
about breakfast in the morning
in the park with mom
about waking up and realizing

I am a soul trapped in a body
I get to escape this prison when I dream
When I dream

about diamonds
about sparkly shoes
about every little detail of that perfect day
about penguins
and walking down the aisle
about waking up and realizing

I am a soul trapped in a body
I get to escape this prison when I dream
When I dream

about hospitals
awake at 2am
about calling her mom
with updates on the hour
about holding her hand
when both our lives changed
about waking up and realizing

i am a soul. i have a body
i get to escape this prison everyday
everyday
when i dream
