Lyrics/Arrangement:
Opening: Rhy Fig 1 twice | Rhy fig 2 | Rhy fig 2a |
Rhy Fig 1 twice
Hush now, don't you cry,
Rhy Fig 2 Rhy Fig 2a
wipe away the teardrop from your eye.
Rhy Fig 1a twice
You're lying safe in bed,
Rhy Fig 2b twice
it was all a bad dream spinning in your head.
Rhy Fig 3 twice
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain,
Rhy Fig 4 twice
Of someone close to you leaving the game (of life).
Rhy Fig 3 twice Rhy Fig 4
So here it is, another chance, wide awake you face the day.
&&
The dream is over, or has it just begun....?
Rhy Fig 5 twice | Rhy Fig 2c twice
<Interlude>
Rhy Fig 5 twice
There's a place I like to hide,
If you open your mind for me,
Rhy Fig 2c twice
a doorway that I run through in the night.
you won't rely on open eyes to see.
Rhy Fig 5 twice
Relax child, you were there,
The walls you built within
Rhy Fig 2c twice
but only didn't realise that you were scared.
come tumbling down and a new world will begin.
Rhy Fig 3 twice
It's a place where you will learn
Living twice at once you learn,
Rhy Fig 4 twice
to face your fears, retrace the years,
you're safe from pain in the dream domain,
and ride the whims of your mind.
a soul set free to fly.
Rhy Fig 3 twice
Commanding in another world,
A round trip journey in your head,
Rhy Fig 4 twice
suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension....
master of illusion, can you realise your dream's alive
2nd time: (you can be the guide, but)
D C6
I.................will be watching over you
D C6
I.................am gonna help to see you through
D C6
I.................will protect you in the night
D C6 $$$ 2nd time &&&
I.................am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity....
Rhy Fig 1b twice
<Interlude>
Rhy Fig 6 twice (Begin solo)| Rhy Fig 7 twice |
Rhy Fig 6 twice | Rhy Fig 7 twice | (rhythm section rest)
Voice: Visualise your dream,
Record it in the present tense,
Put it into a permanent form,
If you persist in all efforts,
You can achieve a dream come true...
...a dream come true...
...a dream come true...
(Go to 2nd verse)
