Dream, empty and grey A story waiting for a place to begin Hands, laying all the best laid plans But where do we leave our mark In this life? As the first child cries Will you wear a disguise? Or will you open up your eyes?
Torn, wearing the disease you mourn Like a deep freeze it burns Locked, sealed up and cast away Surely, meaning never fades if it's true Scarlet words be removed And the prison in you dies And you open up your eyes
Wait 'til the movement passes Wait 'til your season comes Lights on will soon be coming your way Be faithful, morning grateful When your remission comes Hear summer sing your winter away
Open up your eyes and come awake You will be created now Every step a stroke, a dream to shape Emptiness is falling down Open up your eyes, behold the blaze Burning right before you now Open up your mind and seize the day You will be created now
I will dream In color from a world away Painting every sacred day In living light Carve my name on the tree of life We will blaze Every trial and trail of dust 'Til we all turn the midnight sun To sunrise On the canvas of our lives Hear no evil, tell no lies When we open up our eyes
