You came to me
In a silver dream
With a glowing flow
Of a mountain stream

You lift my soul
Way beyond the sky
Just to wake me up
With your golden smiles

Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles

I knew one day
You would come my way
You would help me see
The reality

Heaven and earth
They are one, the same
In my heart I know
When you call my name

Dreaming when I’m wide awake
See, when my eyes are closed
Flying, I don’t need no wings
Being everywhere at once
Hold me, hold me in your arms
Fill me with your glowing grace
