The Life You 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.
There's a time that comes once every morning
When you choose the kind of day you will have
It comes in with the sun and you know you've begun
To live the life you dream
You can light all your candles to the dawn
And surrender yourself to the sunrise
You can make it wrong you can make it right
You can live the life you dream
Pray to Buddha pray to Krishna pray to Jesus
Or the shadow of the devil on your wall
Anyone you call...will come...
The night comes to you dressed in darkness
Descends on your body like a blessing
You can lie in its arms it will heal your heart
You can life the life you dream
You can wake in this vale of tears
You can laugh like a child again
You can make it right you can make it wrong
You can live the life you dream
What you see and you believe is not the answer
To anything that matters very much
Anything you touch...is gone
In the valleys you look for the mountains
In the mountains you search the rivers
You have no where to go you are where you belong
You can live the life you dream
If you call him your master will find you
Seven bars on the gate will not hold him
Seven fires burning bright only give him delight
You can live the life you dream
All your treasure buys you nothing but the moment
All your poverty has lost you everything
Love will teach your dream...to sing
