Soulchild Dreaming
Sleep through your life, soulchild,
Dreaming your tears and triumphs.
Wake to yourself, soulchild,
Rising from your bed of clouds.
Speak of your dreams, soulchild,
Turning your face to godlight.
Life is a dream, soulchild,
Dying into a new dawn.
Shake yourself out, soulchild,
Till it's time to dream again.
