Dreaming, imperfect dreaming
caught in a life repeating
always just out of grasp
sacred visions of a light shared my own

dreaming, the days pass through me
i've spent a lifetime scheming
all i had hoped to be
whispers lazy in a dream far away

witness, i am a witness
to the darkness and to the fire

gazing up at a single star
i dream of wings to take me higher

dreams, imperfect dreaming
touching just as they're leaving
always just out of grasp
sacred visions of a light shared my own

please don't say you've forgotten
how the days felt when we were young
in fields we lay and watch the clouds above us
warped by the sun
we watched them move slowly
as in a dream

looking up at a single star
i need your wings to take me higher

i'm dreaming
the world is dreaming
i heard the sound of millions breathing
cast into the night
we wait for the dark to turn to light

the eyes of a child look through me
they beg me to tell the story
of all that we can be
when we dare to live out our dreams
