Dreamer of Dreams

I have a dream- a dream that I can surely see

Life is more than it seems- this world has not yet blinded me.

There on the horizon beyond the vast shore

I view a vital vision so I am asking for far more.

I have a dream helps me cope with the suffering and pain

The vision of a blessed hope that turns my loss to gain.

I have a dream that draws me, a dream of burning fire

A hope that stuns and awes me and fills my heart's desire.

I have a dream and my dream has me

Audacious, extreme and it's setting me free.

This dream will draw me near to its warm reality

With vision that is clear if I have the eyes to see.

The obvious escapes most men- this sure and sacred fact

All bound up in what might have been, defined by what they've lacked.

Our dreams of dying and of dust leave us broken, weary, lost

Yet dare to dream we surely must- so let us come to count the cost.

Oh dreamer of dreams, what will you see

When your dreams become reality?

I have a dream and my dream has me

Audacious, extreme and it's setting me free.
