Dreaming

lyrics

All these things I have been
All these lives I have dreamed, oh yeah yeah
And all these signs I have seen
They tell, they’re telling me

To sit myself under a tree
Face the demons chasing me, oh yeah yeah
I won’t fight and I won’t flee
They kill but they won’t kill me

When life breaks my heart
It'll make me wise
From darkest night, the sunrise

And I know how it feels to be dreaming
I open my eyes but I am still sleeping
And I want to be wise
I want to know what is real
Know how it feels to stop sleeping
And not be dreaming

For such time as I can breathe
I’ll be as kind as I can be, oh yeah yeah
To be wise is to be free
Oh death won’t bury me

When life breaks my heart
It'll make me wise
From darkest night, the sunrise

When I know how it feels to be dreaming
I open my eyes but I am still sleeping
And I want to be wise
I want to know how it feels
Know what is real
With the sun up in the sky and clouds passing by
I'm still sleeping, sun streaming
And I'm dreaming
