lyrics

In a dream you found a way
Saw your chance to start again
No more living day by day
No more running from the rain

In a dream you found a way
In a dream you found a way
To survive!

Dream another world!
Dream another life!
Dream it all away!
Dream it never ends - dream!

You must not sacrifice your children to Moloch!
You must not sacrifice your children to the Worm!
You must not allow yourself to be a passenger
In someone else’s dreams!

For you will live to see another land!
And you will live to walk another road!
You will live to drink from the well of human kindness!
Drink, child, drink!

And you will find a way!
Everything will find a way!
Everything will find a way - to survive!

Lord! Fill me with your love
I’ll open myself up
But lord tell me why,
Why you never just gave me a sign?

Tell me how to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith

Dream another world child!
Dream another life child
Dream a pair of wings!
Dream you never wake - up!

And together the ants will conquer the elephant!
Together man walking hand in hand will conquer the worm!
Set fire to this cathedral of hatred!
That we lust!
At the top of the world!

For you are an architectural model of an angel!
Yes! You are Jesus Christ walking on the water!
Dream another world!
Dream another life!

And you will find a way!
Everything will find a way!
Everything will find a way - to survive!

Lord! Fill me with your love
I’ll open myself up
But lord tell me why
Why you never just gave me a sign?

Tell me how to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith

Without judgement
Without judgement
Without judgement
Without judgement

Lord!
I know you’re gonna save me - oh Lord!
I know you’re gonna save my soul!
I know you’re gonna save me - oh Lord!

You are an architectural model for something beyond yourself
You are not an angel
You are not infinite
Your feet will blister from the walk to the well of human kindness
You will wonder if you made the right choice
You will miss your bed
You will wonder if this was meant for you

This morning,
Our cat walked into the kitchen
And dropped a worm at my feet
Its claws had ripped the small pink thing in two

Two worms, now racing each other
Back towards the garden door, and the mud
I kneeled down at the side of the small twitching things
And gathered them in my palms

I walked out into the garden
And lowered my hands to the wet earth
‘Life is beautiful’ I said
Life is very beautiful.
Then I opened my hands
And the worm crawled out
And then -
I opened my eyes
