In The Shadow Of a Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If it wasn't for the darkness
I'd be a stranger to the dreaming
Takes a heart to feel so helpless
To find something to believe in
What can we hold on to?
If we can't hold on to each other
After all that they've put us through
It'd be a shame to let the dream slide from view
Don't tell me I'm crazy,
Cause madness has saved me, from being held down for so long
So tell me my minds gone
And we're not all made from the same flesh and bones, say I'm wrong
In the shadow of a dream babe
Our love can grow
When you are down on your knees babe
There’s only one way to go
In the shadow of a dream babe
We'll find tomorrow
Or we'll fight till the day is done
Well who are we without forgiveness
What's a saint without a sinner
Don't be scared to show your weakness
Brings us all closer together
What can we hold on to?
If we can't hold on to each other
Well there is nothing that we can't do
With a fire in our hearts, we can fly to the moon
Don't tell me I'm crazy,
Cause madness has saved me, from being held down for so long
So tell me my minds gone
And we're not all made from the same flesh and bones, say I'm wrong
In the shadow of a dream babe
Our love can grow
When you are down on your knees babe
There's only one way to go
In the shadow of a dream babe
We'll find tomorrow
Or we'll fight till the day is done
Shadow of a dream babe, yeah
In the shadow of a dream babe
Our love can grow
When you are down on your knees babe
There's only one way to go
In the shadow of a dream babe
We'll find tomorrow
Or we'll fight till the day is done
If it wasn’t for forgiveness
Would I know the comfort of your shoulder?
If I'd never known your kindness
The world would feel so much colder
