The River of Dreams

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep

I must be
looking for something
Something sacred I lost

But the river is wide
And it’s too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and
I stand on the shore

And try to cross
to the opposite side
So I can finally find out
what I’ve been looking for
In the middle of
the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I’ve been searching
for something

Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole

I don’t know why
I go walking at night
But now I’m tired and
I don’t want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn’t take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that
I’ve been looking for
In the middle of
the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep

I know
I’m searching
for something

Something
so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

I’m not sure about
a life after this

God knows
I’ve never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire,
I wade into the river

That runs
to the promised land
In the middle of
the night

I go
walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep

We all end
in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We’re all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of
the night
