Dreaming on and on...in the lyrics of a song

And then she surfaced
out of the quagmire of her realms
Reaching out for those dreams
Them that she always thought deemed

Choking on the rays
Those that promised light
The sunshine on those beams
Fading away with it clean

Should she speak forth
Those thoughts left buried
Those that were clambering
To reach the top and failing

Once pushed aside
Like a burr in the wool
Hiding beneath those goals
Shining remembering its role

Stronger and stronger
They struggle to stay
Within their power
To never fade and go away

The light they see
At the end of the tunnel
But all they find
Is the candle flickering
In the hands of the one
Raised to douse it for ever
