Long Ago There Was A Dream
by Mark V. Markov

Under the wheels of the sky, 
Forever pardoned.
By God's love
Because of Jesus Christ.
Washed by His blood we are.

Satan and his angels forever dead and gone
Chained in the lake's fire.

Now it's only we and I
We long to live like the wind upon the water.
When we close our eyes, we'll realize
There's more to life than what we have known.
And I can't believe I've spent so long
Living a life I knew was right inside,
Seems as if, I've just begun to see the light.

Long ago there was a dream,
Had to make a choice or two.
Leaving all I loved behind,
For what nobody knew.
Stepped out under the wheels of the sky, alive
Under God's light and loving eyes.
Now my love has lived and I can dream again...

Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
Read between the lines,
Criticize the words I'm showing
See the truth for yourself and feel the words,
Become sand beneath your feet.

Feel the breeze?
Time's so near you can almost taste the ocean.
There's a warm wind from the east.
Swim the waves and we'll be gone,
By morning this will be our dream come true.
And if we don't return to sing this song,
Maybe just as well.
I've seen the news and there's
Not much that we can do alone.

Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone who smiles without a mask?
What's behind the words—Island of Rest
God knows will please us?
I'll take what's real. Bring on the light.

Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
Read between the lines,
Criticize the words I'm showing
See truth for yourself and feel the words,
Become sand beneath your feet...
