BEAUTIFUL DREAMER, WAKE FROM THE DREAM

By Pamela West-Finkle

Now brown, was green—you know what I mean

Every leaf is turnin’

Every heart is burnin’

Desperate yearnin’ for a little clarity

And a little sanity.

Come up here where it’s clear and sing with me.

Beautiful Dreamer, wake from the dream.

It’s black, it’s white—from day to dark of night

I don’t know what to say

Every shade of gray is a world away

from the Light Bright in our child sight.

Come up here where it’s clear and sing with me.

Beautiful Dreamer, wake from the dream.

From clear to red—blood rushes to our heads

This crazy world is tipping, and our feet are tripping

Hands are slipping from the holds we thought we had

To keep from going mad.

Come up here where it’s clear and sing with me.

Beautiful Dreamer, wake from the dream.~
