Let me dream, let me drift away,
let me fall into slumber and dream this dream away.

As I lay my tired soul, I close my eyes and see
there's a moment when fear and sorrow lead me to a dream.
I will no longer feel pain, your chains no longer bind my feet,
darkness dies in the light in the place that brings me peace.

Let me dream, let me drift away,
let me fall into slumber and dream this dream away.
You too can join me there just close your eyes,
allow the fear to lead the way into a better life.

Let me drift like leaves in the ocean as you call out to me,
I drift farther and farther away,
the person I was, the person I have become,
so much I had to learn, so much is left undone.

Let me rest my tired eyes and greet another day,
there's no better time or place to finally drift away.

Let me dream, let me drift away,
let me fall into slumber and dream this dream away.
