Dream Child (A Christmas Dream)

Lyrics

In the night
 Was the dark
 In the dark
 Was the dream
 In the dream
 Was the Child
 And myself
 There unseen
 In the book was the word
 In the word there was truth
 In the truth there was age
 In the age there was youth
 ♪
 And I said to the Child
 Do your hands they still bleed
 After all of this time
 Do you think there's still need
 But the Child only smiled
 And said not a word
 And the snow it came down
 As if it hadn't heard
 ♪
 And all that night the snow came down
 To heal the scars our lives had found
 And the years that lay broken
 ♪
 And there upon that bridge of dreams
 Across the night we walked unseen
 With no words ever spoken
 ♪
 And then on through that night
 ♪
 We did walk for a while
 And our steps turned to blocks
 And the blocks turned to miles
 Then we followed a path
 For as far as we could
 Till we found ourselves there
 In an evergreen woods
 ♪
 There were thousands of candles
 Upon every tree
 It was beautiful
 But there was one mystery
 For with all of those candles
 You must understand
 That the only one lit
 Was now in his hand
 And there upon that Christmas scene
 The candle wax of melted dreams
 And the years they had taken
 And as that snow did gently fall
 We one by one relit them all
 Till each dream was awakened
 And then there to that light
 ♪
 That young Child showed to me
 All the things that he dreamt
 All the things that might be
 How for everything given
 That something was gained
 Strike one match in the dark
 And the world's not the same
 And then I asked that Child
 Why this night has a star
 And he said, "So we'd know
 That we could see that far"
 And these candles are wed
 To that star's distant light
 And it all came to be
 Upon that long winter's night
 That long winter's night
 That long winter's night
 And when I awoke, well the Child he was gone
 But somewhere in my mind
 I believe he lives on
 And somewhere in my life
 Between here and the end
 On a long winter's night
 I will dream him again
