[Repeat 3x]
It's only a dream

[Verse 1]
I know that gobbled as a child, and got her own
Still he got to bless me too, I been struggling too long
Tryna keep my head up in this hateful world
Always been mama's soldier, never daddy's little girl
I did some fucked up shit, in the name of the game
Before we even call it that, still it's all the same
Shed, blood, sweat, and tears over the years I been scarred
Trace the tracks of my tears, they will show you who I are
Still I, stand strong wit the militant mind
Not no ice cold bitch, that's to easy to find
Try and maintain my mental, as a peaceful place
Still I be ready to die, till I see my mother's face
Got to unlace the rage that I feel
Constant struggle and madness, ain't got to claim to keep it real
True queen, considered twinkle in my eyes
The glide in my step, I bless the world before I die
And tries I might, ain't a damn thang I can do
Just got to hold on until I make it threw
Until I make it threw...

[Repeat 3x]
It's only a dream

[Chorus]
I been dreamin, for so long
What's the meaning, meaning all my life
I been dreamin, for so long
Mama help me, help me make it right

[Verse 2]
It's long nights I shake, my body starve from anger
Hopin lady luck will hear my wish's
Instead of treatin me like a stranger
And Mr.Death plucks my people one by one
It's a cold world, and i'm one of the last suns
Forever shinin, even when the skys grey
Will I eternally suffer, mama tell me it will be okay
Chains at my window, I just want to be free
I'm not scared to die, but why must my people bleed
I gotta get somethin it's my destiny
To all wives up in heaven, I say blessin me
Less I be the next fallen angel, tangled in the web
Givin a fuck about nothin, better off dead
But I don't want to be ill, don't want to be a woman token
So I rock mics, and spread love just keep hopin
Knowin these rainy days, they can't last forever
Tellin myself,"young world things will only get better"

[Repeat 3x]
It's only a dream

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I get the feelin like i'm all surronded
Wit no way up out the jungle, guess I got to rule and ground me
Drown me in my sorrow's, that should never manifest
Let my??? forever from the deepest depth's
Man, I got the cuts for luck and the scars for freedom
Let the angel's come and get me, I'ma set it off when I see em
This life is such a dirty game
Mama never told me it would be so hard to maintain
So I make the purist devil faceable
The walls up out my mind,and so hard and laceable
Only by sorrow things, I want to rule the planet
Travel to the ends for mine, like a bandit
Hand it to me, my visions ready to implement
Made it this for, hope bloody bodie's ain't my present
I'ma keep shinin,I got to make it happend
Find my place in the sun where me and my folks can keep laughin

[Repeat 3x]
It's only a dream

La,la,la,la,la





[Chorus] - 2X

A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon;
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn.
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones;
It's there that my heart is calling
All for the love of you.

A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss.
The eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away.
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky,
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home.

And so it's there my homage's due,
Clutched by the still of the night,
And now I feel you move;
Every breath is full.
So it's there my homage's due,
Clutched by the still of the night.
Even the distance feels so near,
All for the love of you

A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
It's there that my heart is longing for
All for the love of you

A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home

And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
And now I feel you move
Every breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.

Some have commented on the uniqueness of combining Moroccan instruments with western ones, yet there's historical precedence for doing similar. Medieval crusaders and pilgrims brought Middle eastern instruments back with them to Europe. The guitar for example descended from the lute, and the lute evolved from the Arabic oud. Europeans were delighted with the sounds and rhythms that they heard in the Holy Land, and much Medieval music reflects this.


"Mystics Dream" was used in the TV special, "The Mists of Avalon". Gardnerian witches (I am not one) have a chant that they use for certain rituals, and the words fit to "Mystic's Dream" perfectly:

Darksome night and Shining Moon, East, then South, then West, then North,
Harken to the Witches Rune: Here come I to call thee forth.

Earth and Water, Fire and Air, Wand and Pentacle and Sword,
Work ye unto my desire, Harken ye unto my word.

Cords and Censer, Scourge and knife, Powers of the Witches Blade,
Waken all ye into life, Come ye as the Charm is made:

Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell, Horn'ed Hunter of the Night,
Lend your pow'r unto the Spell, Work my will by Magic Rite.

Her music reminds me of an ancient past that we have lost but never fully forgotten. Kind of like the domesticated pet that hears wild animals and knows that a long time ago you were a part of that world.
