Lyrics Dreamscape - Stephen Schwartz

Dreamscape

I am dreaming
Of a riverbank
Mist enshrouds the farther shore
I am standing
In a wooden boat
In my hand, a golden oar
Will I row against the current,
Or let myself be carried out to sea?
Where I reach land at last
Is up to the river
But the journey is up to me Time to sail
Reluctant Pilgrim
My fear is all I’ve got to lose
Life is nothing,
Nothing but a dreamscape
And the dream is mine to choose
I am racing
Down a corridor
Endless doors on either side
I could open
Any one of them
Step on through
And Change my life
Sometimes I pause
There on the threshold
Afraid to leave my bright familiar hall
Sometimes I spend my days
Running by so quickly
That I don’t see the doors at all
Step on through
Reluctant Pilgrim
My fear is all I’ve got to lose
Life is nothing,
Nothing but a dreamscape
And the dream is mine to choose
I am waking
In a forest glade
Needles of pine
Are in my hair
I see pathways
Through the underbrush
Leading to I don’t know where
I hear strange noises in the thickets
And I know some trails
May not be where they seem
Pain may await me But I know if I stay here
I’ll sleep right through my dreams
Find the trail
Reluctant Pilgrim
My fear is all I’ve got to lose
Life is nothing,
Nothing but a dreamscape
And the dream is mine to choose
Let us sail
Reluctant pilgrims
Our fear is all weve got to lose
Life is nothing, nothing but a dreamscape
And the dream is ours to choose
