I woke up from my coma and they said that twenty years had passed I knew not what happened to me as my memories were fading fast
I could not move an inch as I was strapped down on this bed All that the medical team could say was that I was lucky to not be dead
So I lay there still and lost inside my frightened weary mind I'm sure if I try hard enough my past I'm sure to find But no matter how hard I tried to think I just could not do it Maybe it's all these wires and machines attached to my body that's making me forget
Now a medical personal has told me I'm doing rather well But I need more drugs inside me as my head began to swell Now I cannot feel my arms or legs and my eyes begin to close And as the darkness falls on me strange images appear to show That some kind of accident had happened many years ago I hear strange voices speaking a language I don't know Then from the fear inside this "dream" suddenly I'm froze
I wake again all concearned and blurry eyed I tell the nurse about my dream to which she replies "I'm sorry sir I thought you knew that twenty years ago you very nearly died You see the earth was invaded and some evil aliens almost wiped out humankind But we tried to save as many as we could and you young man was the only one we could find
Now I began to panic as my mind started to pace Suddenly I remembered my family and then mourn the human race I tried to move my head to look at the nurses face But then I realised I spoke no words as we communicated telepathically again
I was told I was on a mothership heading far away That I would be safe and could return again to Earth some other day But now I needed to rest and heal and that they were not to blame For inside my head were facts to extract and build a new world like Earth but not quite the same
Then I slept with tears in my eyes and dreamed about my life But when I woke I turned over onto my side And laying there right next to me was my beautiful wife She woke with a smile and asked me why I was crying in my sleep last night
