Once I held a snowflake in my hand
Gazing at the stars in the sky
I let it go
Thinking that I had it all worked out
Well, what do you know?
Glancing away for a moment I fell
Bewitched by a different pair of eyes
Now both are gone, I'm alone in the dark
Just like truth, just like lies Waking,
I dreamt to conquer this new land
Building a home from mostly dust, sweat and tears
Shaping my future by hand,
Even through the darkest years
Somewhere in the back of my mind
I could see it all fall away in the end
Not one survivor amongst you and me
Not one remembrance of you, remember me
Lord, in my dreams I can fly like a bird
Float like a raft upon the sea
Lord, I am loved
And my spirit is held closer to you
Eternal and wise in your arms, flowing free
Back and forth and roundabout we go
Dancing out the days of our lives, sorta slow
Chasing after intoxicating illusions, here we go
Sometimes I reach and I grasp for the prize
Thinking this time it is mine
Always I find things have slipped from my grasp
Just like sand, just like time
Lord, in my dreams
I can fly like a bird
Float like a raft upon the sea
Lord, I am loved
And my spirit is held closer to you
Eternal and wise in your arms, floating free
Lord, in my dreams
I can fly like a bird
Float like a raft upon the sea
Lord, I am loved and my spirit is held
Closer to you
Eternal and wise in your arms, floating free
