Ten Thousand Dreams

TEN THOUSAND DREAMS

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

TEN THOUSAND DREAMS, FLOATING UP LIKE BALLOONS 

SOME ARE GONNA MAKE IT

SOME ARE GONNA POP TOO SOON

IT'S A HARD WORLD THESE DAYS TO NAVIGATE

IF I HAD TO INVESTIGATE, WOULD YOU CUT ME IN

BEARING WITNESS TO, EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING THROUGH

STANDING IN THE ROSE GARDEN, LOOKING AT THE MOON

I TAKE A BOW, I THINK YOU

YOUR REPLY WAS ALL I NEEDED

EVERYTHING IN MY FAVOR 

TAKE A MOMENT JUST TO SAVOR

RISING FROM THE ASHES, DIGGING UP MY CACHES

BUILDING UP MOMENTUM

DOES THIS SEEM FAMILIAR, OR IS IT SOMETHING NEW

SWEEPING REVELATIONS,SWEET VICTORIES AND COUNTING

THE EXCITEMENT MOUNTING

TEN THOUSAND DREAMS ALL IN A LINE

WHICH ONES THIS TIME

SEPARATING DREAMS FROM WISHES

REALITY FROM DELUSION

FOREGONE CONCLUSION

STRAIGHT INTO THE SUN FROM DARK SHADOWS

LEAVING ONE WAY TRACKS IN THE SNOW

NO SIGN IN THE TREES

 I'M NOT COMING BACK THIS WAY I KNOW

IF THERE'S EVERYTHING TO LOSE

THEN THERE'S EVERYTHING TO GAIN

SO CHOOSE, YOUR POISON WELL

I CAN'T REALLY SAY I'LL BE BACK

BUT I'M ON MY WAY

IT'S AUTOMATIC IT'S OUT OF MY HANDS

IT'S A RARE THING WHEN EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS

YOU'VE GOT TO FIELD ALL THESE DEMANDS

TWO SIDES TO EVERY DREAM

AND BOTH I'VE SEEN

THE WIND OF FAITH MOVING YOU ALONG

DON'T STOP BELIEVING WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

STANDING IN THE WILDFLOWERS BLESSED BY THE SUN

HOW COULD ANYONE DISAGREE

THE MAN ON THE STREET THINKS IT'S A MYSTERY

I JUST MIGHT FEEL IT DEEP INSIDE

TEN THOUSAND DREAMS SATISFIED

TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO GET IT RIGHT

WALKING SOFTLY IN THE MOONLIGHT FAIR

I THINK I MIGHT BE MORE THAN HALFWAY THERE
