i dreamed a dream...

[houstizzle05]

I dreamed a dream
A silent dream
Of a land not far away
Where no birds sang
No steeples rang
And teardrops fell like rain

I dreamed a dream, a silent dream
I dreamed a dream of a land so filled with pride
That ever song, both weak and strong
Withered and died...

No Allelujah
Not one Hosanna
No song of love
No lullaby

And no choirs sang to change the world
(i dreamed a dream)
No pipers played, no dancers twirled
(i dreamed a dream)
A silent dream

Awake, awake...
Awake, awake...
Soli Deo Gloria!!
Awake, awake!!

Awake, awake my soul and sing!
The time for praise has come
The silence of the night as passed
A new day has begun

Let music never die in me
Forever let my spirit sing
Wherever emptiness is found,
Let there be joy and glorious sound!

Let music never die in me
Forever let my spirit sing
Let all our voices join as one
To praise the Giver of the sun

Awake, Awake!
Let music live...
