I had a dream in my dream
Nothing was written down
Somehow I understood

You walked me into a room
Numbers were on the walls
Somehow you knew

That you were a loving machine
'cause you had figured out
The human doubt

Now you could count on the peace
A mother's hope for you
the dream within a dream

So I locked my pen in the drawer
and I drew out a sword
what good would I be for'

'cause you make numbers add up
oh like hand-me-downs
From some worried mom

Cause you are a loving machine
'cause you figured out
human doubt

Now you can count on the peace
A mother's hope for you
A dream within my dream

I love you son, son I love you
Warm as the sun
I wish I knew a way for me
I wish I knew a way for you

I had a dream in my dream
And we were night and day
When you rose I went away

At every point the same
I would come after you
You would be coming too
I thought I was holding you
Your light was shining through
