Lyrics

Dreams

Once I dreamt I could breathe under water
Swimming with the fishes, I learned much from them
I learned not to fear the cold and dark water
Not to fear great white and hammerhead
I?d be safe with friends all around me
Together we?d find refuge just around the bend
I swim with them no more

Once I dreamt I could fly with the birds
Soaring through the sky, I learned much from them
I learned not to fear the weariness of travel
Not to fear the heat and wind and rain
A friendly draft would help us on our journey
Together we?d find refuge just around the bend
I fly with them no more

Now I dream of you
And I?m happy to have flown with the birds, to have swam under sea
For I learned many things
Compassion
Patience
Empathy
Humility
Now I see

Once I dreamt
Once, I dreamt
Once I dreamt
Now I do
