DREAMER'S DREAM
What started as a dreamer's dream
Has vanished in the wind.
It swept me away without my knowing
Just where it all would end.
And now it hurts to start again,
And pain's too kind a word
To deeply say what's hanging on inside of me.
The answers I've been told before
Don't apply to questions asked.
It's gonna take much more than conversation
To bring me back.
Still memories linger like moring mist
And cloud my troubled soul.
It seems too much for me
To put them all away.
I've been quoted all the verses
And I know each one by heart.
But I can't find that sense of calm assurance
So help me, help me in this moment
As I struggle to survive.
Must there be this sadness before joy?
Lord, I want to believe You
And I want to be near You
But I keep thinking where I've been.
You see, I don't really believe you can heal me
And put me on the road again.
You'll just have to take me,
Fill me and break me
Until I can clearly see
What you are making me.
- From a song by Pete Carlson -
