Dream Child (A Christmas Dream) - 2003 Remaster

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 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 there 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 there to that light
 This young child showed to me
 All the things that he dreamt
 All the things that might be
 How for everything given
 That something is gained
 Strike one match in the dark
 And all 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 away
 To that star's distant light
 And it all came to me
 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
