Dream Of A Child

Ensemble
Sympathies exist
Presentiments and signs
That baffle our
Mortal comprehension

To dream of to see
What seems not to be there

But such things exist
Things beyond this earth
Things beyond our sacred
Thoughts of heaven
These things are the things
That reason defies
But reason sometimes lies

Jane
I had a dream of a child
Hushed in my arms like a sparrow it slept
And in this dream of a child
Sometimes it ran from me, sometimes it wept
We sat on a gabled roof
I held this unknown child
The walls came crashing down around me
I watched her plunge into darkness...

I had a dream of a place
I stand in the ash of
A house torn apart
And in this dream there's a face
A man without vision who sees with his heart
I see the man ride off
He won't return for years
And as he rides, my feelings swim
The child screams, the light grows dim
God save the life of this child
Don't let her lose him
