Alone I Stood on the Shore of Dreams

Alone I Stood on the Shore of Dreams

Alone I stood on the shores of dream
And the tides of time bellows beneath my shirt

I heard the echoes of the future
A sweet melody floating in from a spotless realm

I reached out my hands
To touch the spring of this song

I moved my legs
To dance to the beat of its provoking drums

In my mind I rode on the chariot of the wind
Into the realm of my dreams

But in my heart
That ugly creature stirred

Fear is a monster
Seeking its home in any feeble minds

But a greater Presence was there
His hand clasped my shoulders

An apparition partly real, partly invisible
Right there he stood and began to say

Don't worry son
You are never alone

Long may be the journey of a frail little soul
But greater is the reward of a heart that never grow dim

I am the companion of greatness
The mystery of life itself
