I Dream - Paul Colman Trio

I closed my eyes again and I fought this traffic jam 
And I tried to slow this engine down 
But just like all last night I felt injustice bite 
One body one chance one country at a time 
And no rewind button 
I dreamed of things I'm yet to be 
And of angel wings that carried me 
From suffering and agony to eternity 

I dreamed that you were next to me 
And all your scars refused to bleed 
I dreamed that love and peace had power 
Over fear and bitterness 

I dreamed I saw a million angels 
Coming forth to rescue me 
Singing welcome home my faithful servant 
Tantalizing images I dream 

The sky was like an angry bruise 
That wouldn't let the sunlight loose 
And bring us healing and take the swelling down 
And these were years of insurrection 
Condemnation and disconnection 
Refusing to believe that you'd paid the tab for me 
And unhappiness is here defined 
To know the truth but to stay behind 
And to burn your invitation to the promised land 

I dreamed the dove of peace was chosen 
Over fear and weaponry 
I dreamed someone could raise a family 
Never fearing tragedy 

I dreamed I saw a million angels 
Intercepting evil schemes 
Love and comfort never ending 
Everlasting images I dream 

I dreamed I saw a million angels 
Breaking through the clouds of grey 
The sweetest sounds of hallelujah 
Came and stole these blues away 

I dreamed I saw a million angels 
Coming forth to rescue me 
Singing welcome home my faithful servant 
Singing words I long to hear
