Melody Rhoades - Dreams Are Power
[Verse 1] I heard my old dream breathing in the dark spent as a match against frozen rain It used to carry me through exams and dawn shifts through turf burns through failed starts Now it lies there under my ribs quiet as a tomb after the mourners leave [Pre-Chorus 1] And I keep checking if it still looks my way if itβs just smoke or some shape of grace I held it too tight I fed it my fear now all the soft things seem to disappear [Chorus 1] Dreams are power Or are they poison? Dreams are power What have I chosen? It lifts me up It cuts me through Dreams are power Tell me what they do [Verse 2] It got me up before light made my back hold tight made me read in buses made me run until my lungs learned discipline my wrists learned work my name got built from sweat and clocks Then one dream came in with a better wage a farther map a sharper stage I took the train I took the room I took the miles and left you in that June [Pre-Chorus 2] I told myself thatβs what the living do but the dream I obeyed still ends with you And every window I pass at night frames the remains of a different life [Chorus 2] Dreams are power Or are they poison? Dreams are power Look what Iβve chosen They built the road I burned the bridge Dreams are power And I did this [Bridge] Maybe the dream was clean Maybe my fear made it mean More than it ever was A blade in my hand, not a law from above Hey yeah If one dream has to die Let it wane under open sky Let this worn kite slip its string So the next wind fills new wings [Final Double Chorus] Dreams are power Not just poison Dreams are power I won't curse it They raise the roof They can burn it through Dreams are power By the hands they answer to Dreams are power Dreams are power I was haunted Dreams are power I misused it One dream fades But the sky won't close Dreams are power Where a new wind blows
