Adam's Dream (lyrics)



I fell asleep out in my Father's garden

low I dreamed I roamed

I dreamed I was alone

I fell straight through the garden floor

and hit the grounds of war


My Father standing over said

"I don't know what you see, My Dear

but I will keep you safe while you are sleeping."

Knelt and whispered in my ear

as I lay sweating fevered



He said "Babe, I want you to know

wherever you may think you roam

you're always but right here with me.

Never alone.

You're right here at home."




And in my dream my head I turned

but saw nothing so I returned

to spinning on my spinning-wheel my sin

a cloak so heavy might conceal

from everything and everything within... me




And I rode ten-billion horses 'round the world

as it collapsed beneath my feet

and I was sure that I was dead




He said "STOP and listen, my Son!

Whatever you may think you've done

you've always been right here with me.

Never alone. Never alone.




Now in my dream I dropped down to my knees

and I began to weep

I knew I was asleep

and that the world I would unmake

was mine to shake and wake.




Just like that my fever passed

the path that I was steered was clear

and I knew nothing in my dream

could harm me




A tear fell from my Fathers grin

a stream of love flowed out of Him

onto me now I offer it to you




Because He said,


"Babe, I want you to know

whatever you may think you owe-

you owe only this to the others

now follow your Brother.





GO walk with them

laugh with them

talk with them

run with them

comfort them

forgive them

each one


Go wake up my Son!
