I Dream Lyrics

I closed my eyes again and I fought this traffic jam And I tried to slow this engine down But just like all last night I felt injustice bite One body one chance one country at a time And no rewind button I dreamed of things I'm yet to be And of angel wings that carried me From suffering and agony to eternity I dreamed that you were next to me And all your scars refused to bleed I dreamed that love and peace had power Over fear and bitterness I dreamed I saw a million angels Coming forth to rescue me Singing welcome home my faithful servant Tantalizing images I dream The sky was like an angry bruise That wouldn't let the sunlight loose And bring us healing and take the swelling down And these were years of insurrection Condemnation and disconnection Refusing to believe that you'd paid the tab for me And unhappiness is here defined To know the truth but to stay behind And to burn your invitation to the promised land I dreamed the dove of peace was chosen Over fear and weaponry I dreamed someone could raise a family Never fearing tragedy I dreamed I saw a million angels Intercepting evil schemes Love and comfort never ending Everlasting images I dream I dreamed I saw a million angels Breaking through the clouds of grey The sweetest sounds of hallelujah Came and stole these blues away I dreamed I saw a million angels Coming forth to rescue me Singing welcome home my faithful servant Singing words I long to hear _______________________________ The Killing Tree All alone in an evil dream I see myself up high And it's me over you with my arms spread open wide I try to run from the place I know that I can be set free Come away come away there's a sweet voice calling me To the killing tree I look around at all the faces who are passing me And I run try to run with nails in my feet All the time I was building castles on a sandy beach Leading you leading you to a place I'd never been To the killing tree Come on I know what you're asking me and I don't wanna give 'Cause it's safe and I know 'cause I've been here all these years All the precious pain I hold without it there is fear And I'm afraid when you say that you'll get me outta here To the killing tree Come on Come away to a place of healing So now I run to you and I move from night to day For to live I must die and there's still no other way I was alone in an evil dream but you took my place up high Now it's you over me with your arms spread open wide On the killing tree Come on
