The Castle in the Air

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream, make it clearer then any vision I've ever seen. Give it beauty like rose in the shade of your wings, and when it opens let me know that it was destined to be
All the long hard days, and nights that I couldn't sleep. Tossing, turning, heavy thinking cuz' its hard to believe. That all my plans are in your hands if I keep moving my feet. The aspirations of my heart will then become reality

Looks like night time got a hold again, and it seems like I'm forgetting all I know again. It's just a vicious cycle
My dreams turn to nightmares, cuz' I'm scared. I'm over reaching, like a baby on the stairs, yet unaware
That the fall hurts way more then the climb. But I'm afraid of heights and elevations giving me vertigo, I heard you though
You didn't give me fear. Ya that ones on me. Give me a song to sing, something that I'll believe

Now I know nothing like I once thought I did. And my life's different then one I thought I'd live. Waking up i'm not the person I see in my dreams. Nor do I feel like I get credit for doing anything. It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
Thank you for who I am
Thank you for who I'm not

I need a reason to believe I'm not the only one. Who's got ambitions that they fear will never seem to come
Into existence let alone see the fruition, am I missing the, the bigger picture I'm staring at will I get to the
Pearly gates and hear I never knew you? Despite all of these church events that I had always pursued
Maybe it's the why and not the what, it's the blood inside the cuts. It's today and not tomorrow. Cuz' tomorrow's got enough
It's the straining of your voice to give him every ounce. The imperfections are corrected as the grace abounds
His love is perfect, His love is perfect, His love is perfect
May your dreams become lucid, he gone see you through it

Now I know nothing like I once thought I did. And my life's different then one I thought I'd live
Waking up i'm not the person I see in my dreams. Nor do I feel like I get credit for doing anything
It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
Thank you for who I am, thank you for who I'm not

Cuz' if it wasn't for you I'd be the monster that I thought I'd be
It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
It's all you, it's all you, it's all you
Thank you for who I am
Thank you for who I'm not
