lyrics

Once again
I find I prayed in my sleep
I know this means something to me
Like a promise I keep

But when the morning comes
The light I see breaks suddenly and

Within my reach
An introduction to birth
Steam rising from the newborn
A mother's gift for the earth

But light is sobering
And what I see will cease to be and

Dreams like these will fade away...

Crying out loud
But not yet able to speak
The babe reaches out to the whole world
Only knowing to breathe

My tears begin to flow
As fragilety and innocence grow

Once awake
I see the miracle fold
The beauty that grew in my eyes
Comes crashing down in the cold

But when the winter comes
Survival kicks in suddenly and

Dreams like these will fade away...
Just like you and I will fade away.
