The Dreamer lyrics

As the child, when she crossed the border

To reunite with her father

Who had traveled north to support her

So many years before

She left half her family behind her

And with a crucifix to remind her

She pledged her future to this land

And does the best that she can do

Where do the dreams go?

Born of faith and illusion

Where there is no road or footprints

Only desires that whisper to your heart

Eagles fly on columns of the wind

Fish swim the currents of the sea

People cross oceans and deserts, and rivers

Carrying nothing more than the dream of what life could be

Today she got the order

They're taking steps to deport her

To send her back over the border

And tear her away from the life she has made

We don't see half the people around us

Well we imagine enemies that surround us

And the walls that we've built between us

Keep us prisoners of our fears

Where do the dreams go

Born of faith and illusion

Where there is no road or footprints

Only desires that whisper to your heart

Only desires that whisper to your heart
