Written in April 2009. A few lyrics contributed by Jon Manning.
lyrics
Dreams are all I've got
They 're what I am
And what I'm not
Because dreams they seem so real
They make you think
what you can't feel
Because in dreams I find my smile
And I can rest a little while
But dreams they don't come true
So never dream like dreamer's do.
In my dream there is no pain
I feel no pride
I feel no shame
All fear and all delight
It just won't last
Beyond tonight
With happy dreams, I wake to grief
A nightmare comes, I find relief
Close your eyes and set your goal
The choice is yours so take control
Dreams can give me hope
They help me fight
They help me cope
In time we can change, we can progress, and rearrange
To dream's another thing, our mind dangles on a string
I'm cursed by the light of dawn
By morning all my dreams are gone
They 're what I am
And what I'm not
Because dreams they seem so real
They make you think
what you can't feel
Because in dreams I find my smile
And I can rest a little while
But dreams they don't come true
So never dream like dreamer's do.
In my dream there is no pain
I feel no pride
I feel no shame
All fear and all delight
It just won't last
Beyond tonight
With happy dreams, I wake to grief
A nightmare comes, I find relief
Close your eyes and set your goal
The choice is yours so take control
Dreams can give me hope
They help me fight
They help me cope
In time we can change, we can progress, and rearrange
To dream's another thing, our mind dangles on a string
I'm cursed by the light of dawn
By morning all my dreams are gone
