My Dream

Lights get low in a darkening house

Ghosts of doubt whisper and wander

What do I really know and how

All these questions to ponder

I have lived a life of faith

I have felt and heard the Spirit

Still the darkness brings its weight

And assurance is gone

But as I fall asleep I have a waking dream

You are standing in the driveway

As I come up the street

I can tell by your movement you’re not angry

You are waiting there

How much foolishness and folly are allowed in your graceland

How much doubt and melancholy

Till I’m lost

And as I fall asleep I have a waking dream

Every night for a year you have come to meet me here

Just a simple image in my mind

As I fall asleep

Of you standing in the driveway

As I come up the street

I can tell by your movement you’re not angry

You are running now

You are running
