Dream away sweet dreamer
For your visions in deep slumber are all that we see
A distant candlelight upon the horizon
Bringing a tranquil shimmer of light to the all consuming darkness of closed eyes

Your flame burns bright, lifting the blanket of shadow
Revealing the ruins of the land once rich and imperishable
Bringing regret and shame to the forgetful eyes
Yet giving vision and promise of restoration to those of hope

Look up with eyes wide open, but in the ruins I urge look down
Upon the ground, beneath dirt and dust
For still there remains rich soil to sow seeds and a vast land to rebuild
And in the distance, ever shining, ever lightening, the dreamer dreams forever
