lyrics

Stepping on stones and watching the river roll
Filling my lungs with time in the sun
I’m ducking through trees
And searching for sleep as we
Drop our dreams into the breeze
We drop our dreams into the breeze
As it blows…

We chase the sun until it rises
Until the dawn opens our eye lids
And we’re all wide-awake, oh
And we’re all wide-awake, oh
There’s people screaming we believe it
Until they understand the meaning
And we’re all wide-awake
And the dawn becomes the day

Throwing our thoughts over the river rocks
Finding our eyes in search of the signs
We’re diving in deep
And praying for peace as we
Drop our dreams into the breeze
We drop our dreams into the breeze
As it blows…

We chase the sun until it rises
Until the dawn opens our eye lids
And we’re all wide-awake, oh
And we’re all wide-awake, oh
There’s people screaming we believe it
Until they understand the meaning
And we’re all wide-awake
And the dawn becomes the day
