Lyrics
Where do you dream little one?
Tucked up, cuddled up under eiderdown in trundle beds?
In sailing ships that steal into bedrooms in the night
And launch a journey of a thousand miles?
In nests, high in tree tops
In tree houses and forts
Built where eagles fly?
In meadows of dandelions puffing out to seed
After one glorious life of solar saffron!
Do you remember your dreams little one?
Do you remember?
Nightscapes crowded with adventure and beauty
And your very own nasty beasties
Filaments, scenes and images
Nonsensical and real
They are the shapes and the dances
Of the next round of life
Dreams are the secret drawers of hope
In the ark of life
Open that drawer and out spills
Gardens and rose trees
Cascading like waterfalls
Sunlight dancing in petals
Infinite spinning, infinite weaving
You becoming, earth becoming
Life becoming, life becoming new again
On the looms of dreams, On the looms of dreams…
Dare to dream little one, dare to dream
That is the work of the real hero.
