| Lyrics |
On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream Isaw the shore of a distant land where/
Promise lay in wait/ And I heard thesound of voices of a million hungrysouls/ Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate
But I am just a man, not worthy of thisplan / With a strength that's not my own,
Imust rise
And I...will bear the light, ( and thevision leads me onward) / Thatblind....men have their sight / I'd sail athousand seas to make it so
To the Kings I gave the mission, in thehope that they would share / In the joyof setting countless captives free / Butthe lust for Gold and power, is luring usaway / From a calling that began in purity
And 'm still just a man, not worthy ofthis plan / With a strength that's not myown, I must rise
Now a tempest rages in my heart, as thisfever furies on / Soon these islands promise rest and hope, my answers waitbeyond their shore / Dream on...
Hungry eyes are standing on the sand,they beckon us to bring the tide /
Sovereign hand must hold me now, I pleadwith you / Be my soloace and my guide...bymy side
And I...will walk with you / On the shores of the land ofpromise / Thatblind...men see you too / I'd sail a thou-sand seas to make it so
