If this were a dream I’d think
that I’d awaken to find all is well;
If this were a nightmare, I’d scream
and panic, but find that all is well;
If this were a joke I’d think
that it was fun, but all’s now well;
If this were a lie I’d think
that truth is, all is well;

And if this were a story, I’d think
that the good guys always win;
And if this were a lesson, I’d think
that I have learned, and all is well;
And if this were a mistake, I’d think
that mistakes are made, and all is well;
And if this were a conspiracy, I’d think
that conspirers fall, and all is well.

But this is not a dream, a lie, a joke, a nightmare,
Not a story, a conspiracy, a lesson or mistake;
And it is all these things, and it is life;
And it is all these things, and it is me.

And ironic though it be,
All is well.
