Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hush now, don't you cry

Wipe away the teardrop from your eye

You're lying safe in bed

It was all a bad dream spinning in your head (Spinning, spinning, spinning)

[PreChorus]

Your mind tricked you to feel the pain

Of someone close to you leaving the game of life

So here it is, another chance

Wide awake, you face the day, your dream is over

Or has it just begun?

[Verse 2]

There's a place I like to hide

A doorway that I run through in the night

Relax, child, you were there

But only didn't realize and you were scared

[PreChorus]

It's a place where you will learn

To face your fears, retrace the years, and ride the whims of your mind

Commanding in another world

Suddenly, you hear and see this magic new dimension

[Chorus]

I

Will be watching over you

I

Am gonna help you see it through

I

Will protect you in the night

I

Am smiling next to you in silent lucidity

[Verse 3]

If you open your mind for me

You won't rely on open eyes to see

The walls you built within

Come tumbling down and a new world will begin

[PreChorus]

Living twice at once, you learn

You're safe from pain in the dream domain

A soul set free to fly

A round trip journey in your head

Master of illusion, can you realize?

Your dream's alive, you can be the guide, but

[Chorus]

I

Will be watching over you

I

Am gonna help you see it through

I

Will protect you in the night

I (I)

Am smiling next to you
