Dream World

Dream World
By Austin Brashears

I walk through the valley of the shadows
Climbing up the tower of sorrows
The sleeping city below me
As far as the eye could ever see
The sky blackens and rain beats on my head
I fall back as though I am dead
The earth shakes with the thunder roll
Once-broken chains constricting my soul

I got myself in this place
I brought myself to disgrace
These heavy chains were cast away
I looked up and saw your face

I want to love you
Where God’s grace is shining through
I accept you for who you are
Why do you try to hide your scars?
You are forever beautiful
I want to pour out my heart and soul
But to let me it's your choice in full
Just like you chose to follow Jesus Christ

I cannot solve this puzzle made of gold
Watching as my horror story unfolds
The soldiers of darkness come
This torture has left me completely numb
Travelling down a never-ending road
Forever searching for the missing code
I don't want you to say goodbye
Wake me from this dream I cry.

I got myself in this place
I brought myself to disgrace
These heavy chains were cast away
I looked up and saw your face

I want to love you
Where God’s grace is shining through
I accept you for who you are
Why do you try to hide your scars?
You are forever beautiful
I want to pour out my heart and soul
But to let me it's your choice in full
Just like you chose to follow Jesus Christ

Dream girl, save me from my nightmares
Girl that glows, keep me in your prayers

I find myself awake
Our friendship at stake
You said that this could never work out
Why do you have so much doubt?
I feel that my dreams are coming true
I don’t know all you are going through
But if we are to make it out alive
We must stand by each other's side

I want to love you
Where God’s grace is shining through
I accept you for who you are
Why do you try to hide your scars?
You are forever beautiful
I want to pour out my heart and soul
But to let me it's your choice in full
Just like you chose to follow Jesus Christ

I’m living in a dream world…
I’m living in a dream world…

I’m living in a dream world I know
Trying to reap before I sow
This mask I wear that is so fake
Will soon completely break.
I hear a choir of angels singing in the deep.
The real me awakens from his sleep.
