A True Dream....The Grape Part 1
Part 2 is my Interpretation

Verse 1
I woke up laughing… my cellie laughed too
From the bottom bunk of the small, dank cell
He asked, “Were you having a good dream?”
Still smiling, I leaned over and said, “Yeah.”
A deep scar marked the center of his chest
A medicine bag hung around his neck
I wondered what was inside that charm
What mumbo jumbo it might protect.
Chorus
“The pool held fresh grapes at my sister’s place
All the kids laughed as we danced with no shoes
We smashed the grapes, they oozed through our toes
Joy in every step, nothing to lose!”
Verse 2
“I hung a dream weaver under your bunk,
To bless your dreams and trap evil spirits!”
I laid back thinking, “I dreamed of my kin
And how sweet life can be, even in this.”
Bridge
I gave a glass of grape juice to my nephew
I asked him, “Wondering, how did it taste?”
Both hands held the glass as he took a drink
He grinned with a grape mustache and said, “FEET!”
Chorus (Repeat)x2
“The pool held fresh grapes at my sister’s place
All the kids laughed as we danced with no shoes
We smashed the grapes, they oozed through our toes
Joy in every step, nothing to lose!”

Bridge
I gave a glass of grape juice to my nephew
I asked him, “Wondering, how did it taste?”
Both hands held the glass as he took a drink
He grinned with a grape mustache and said, “FEET!”

Outro
I woke up laughing… my cellie laughed too!
Dreams of my family, so sweet and true.
