Lyrics
Dreamer’s Story
A dream is a story we tell to ourselves
About ourselves
A dream is a letter sent from the soul
To make us whole
I’m riding in a car with no steering wheel
On a bridge that stops in mid air
A tidal wave approaches, it can’t be real
So why I am I feeling so scared
Chorus 1
Waking up is not the same
As knowing how to play this game
Asking me to reveal
What I’m working to conceal
So if my dreams are all created by me
Why is the pain so intense?
And if it’s self inflicted you might agree
What an odd thing to sense
My first love appears at my birthday party
She winks and seems in good health
I kiss her deeply and she says I’m sorry
Honey you’re kissing yourself
Chorus
Waking up is not the same
As knowing how to play this game
Asking me to reveal
What I’m working to conceal
I’m soaring high
Flying among the clouds
Riding on a winged horse
The wind blows so loud
All the better teachers I ever knew
Told me a singular tale
Reality solid in front of you
Is most assuredly frail
