The Life You Dream - Judy Collins

There’s a time that comes once every morning

When you choose the kind of day you will have

It comes in with the sun and you know you’ve begun

To live the life you dream

You can light all your candles to the dawn

And surrender yourself to the sunrise

You can make it wrong you can make it right

You can live the life you dream

Pray to Buddha pray to Krishna pray to Jesus

Or the shadow of the devil on your wall

Anyone you call… will come…

The night comes to you dressed in darkness

Descends on your body like a blessing

You can lie in its arms it will heal your heart

You can life the life you dream

You can wake in this vale of tears

You can laugh like a child again

You can make it right you can make it wrong

You can live the life you dream

What you see and you believe is not the answer

To anything that matters very much

Anything you touch… is gone

In the valleys you look for the mountains

In the mountains you search the rivers

You have no where to go you are where you belong

You can live the life you dream

If you call him your master will find you

Seven bars on the gate will not hold him

Seven fires burning bright only give him delight

You can live the life you dream

All your treasure buys you nothing but the moment

All your poverty has lost you everything

Love will teach your dream… to sing
