In the memory of a dream
Moving through the house that I grew up in
Finding all the rooms are empty
Letting go of children's things
Wondering if I was ever ready
To live the life that I have chosen
This is a day like any other
I'm not afraid today
To be alone
Or think of home
Dreaming that I'm awake
Safe in the cradle of your arms
Safe in the thought that you are here
Dreaming I'm not afraid
Waiting for you to disappear
Dreaming that you are really here
To stay
You are what is lost in me
All of what is sacred and unholy
Leaving what is left unspoken
I become myself again
Practicing the art of being broken
To keep the hope of being whole
This is a day like any other
All of the things I've had to love or fear
Have disappeared
Dreaming that I'm awake
Safe in the cradle of your arms
Safe in the thought that you are here
Dreaming I'm not afraid
Waiting for you to disappear
Dreaming that you are really here
To stay
Learning how to close the door
To the rooms I won't be going back to
Where I leave a child dreaming
Dreaming that I'm awake
Safe in the cradle of your arms
Safe in the thought that you are here
Dreaming I'm not afraid
Waiting for you to disappear
Dreaming that you are really here
To stay
To stay...
