"We Need Our Dreams to Lead the Way" (10/4/18)

I found an empty cup

And brought it to my ear 

Listened to my demons 

Then watched them disappear 

Sweet sap like morning dew 

Dripped down from eagles’ wings 

The healing had begun 

If only in my dreams 

But dreams and life are 

Just the same 

They’re just the same 

It seems 

We need the sleep to 

Be awake 

We need our dreams 

To lead the way 

Human tears in desert sand 

Plow and plant a silver oak 

That only worthy gracious hands

Can willingly invoke

I said, dreams and life are 

Just the same 

They’re just the same 

It seems 

We need the sleep to 

Be awake 

We need our dreams 

To lead the way

Close your eyes, dear one 

And won’t you get some rest  

Fill your cup so when you wake 

Your soul may be your guest 

Cuz dreams and life are 

Just the same 

They’re just the same 

It seems 

We need the sleep to 

Be awake 

We need our dreams 

To lead the way
