I'd Like To

I'd like to dream all our troubles away. Dream of a coming day when the grapes upon the vine fall into crystal cups like sweet summer wine. I'd like to awake to find a light heart, and easy mind, awake to birds in song for the worries long gone, awake upon a new world within a new time. Here where bold dreams seem so far underneath those distant stars, do we dare dream such a dream in the night so cold, so mean? I'd sleep on a bed of nails if that's what it'd take to make the foundations shake, to cause the earth to cry and bring that dream alive. I'd love to leave this old world in a dream riding a wave upon a bright new sunbeam, and take all those who dream like I do away, way over there from where the dreams come calling, calling for me and for you.
