Catalina's Milky Way Dreams
(c) Re- Written 2024 - By The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Shooting Stars and fast moving CarsRumble through the roads of my mindTick-e-ty Tock, the old sounds of the clockSay's it's almost a quarter past nine
The moons surely rising, the stars are a glidingAnd Mr. Sandman is ready to roamHurry off to bed and put your pillow under your headHe might just be visiting you tonight at homeDrifting off to sleep is such a wonderful featAdventures you'll enjoy on your ownMaking new friends on a journey to no endA secrete life that is yours all aloneDon't be afraid of those gobble lee goo'sOr those pirates drifting to sea on their boatsThere's no need to worry there just in your dreamsLike rainbow clouds and cotton candy floatsOh that sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerPlease, don't take my Dreams a wayTo see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way DreamsWe could have so much funUnder an ice cream sun and laugh our time awaySing some M & M songs the whole day longUntil we awake to brand new day
Pluto say's hey kiddo don't get out of bedAs Snakel Puss laughs and says, ah it's OKKKKKKKKPopeye yell's, were gone in a minute after I eat me spinachPoo say's all aboard my Banana Split SleighOh that Sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerWorry not Catalina, we won't take your Dreams a way
To see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way Dreams
Catalina say's, please come join me, on my Milky Way Dreams




I've been hiding out, lost and confused,
Not sure which way to turn, my heart feels bruised.
Hurt by life's bumps, struggling more each day,
Hanging on by my fingertips, afraid I'll fade away.

In the shadows, alone, I'm searching for a clue,
Screaming to the heavens, Lord, it's me and you.
Looking for a sign, while life's punches land,
What have I done so wrong? Please lend me your hand.

Oh Lord, where ya been?
I've been crying out for you time and again.
Standing here worried, scared, desperate too,
Lord, I'm begging you, please pull me through.

The road has been long, my journey so dark,
At times I felt betrayed, it broke my heart.
Each step I take feels like I'm losing ground,
In this battle of life, I'm lost and I'm bound.

I've stumbled and fumbled, looking for the light,
With every whispered prayer, I'm hoping to fight.
Wondering why I fear this storm I face,
Lord, I need your love, your saving grace.

Oh Lord, where ya been?
I've been crying out for you time and again.
Standing here worried, scared, desperate too,
Lord, I'm begging you, please pull me through.

Sometimes God takes us on journeys hard to see,
Paths that are confusing, but shaping me.
Through trials and sorrow, your light will shine,
With every tear I shed, I know I'm still thine.

As the dawn breaks, hope begins to rise,
I'll find my way back if I follow your skies.

So I hold on tight to the promise you've made,
In the midst of the chaos, I won't be afraid.
The whispers of your love surround my soul,
Every step I take, you're making me whole.

Oh Lord, I feel you, even in my pain,
In the silence and echoes, I know you remain.

Oh Lord, where ya been?
I've been crying out for you time and again.
Standing here worried, scared, desperate too,
Lord, I'm begging you, please pull me through.

Oh Lord, where ya been?
Here I stand again, crying out to you, my friend.
In the midst of my struggle, I know you're near,
I'll keep the faith alive, for your love calms my fear.
