Casting the Shadows Away

In the river of dreams I will swim along hoping to live on a wing and a song gracing the moment with hope for the day leaving behind all my sorrows, at bay; In the river of dreams I will know I belong to an ocean of love that will help me be be strong... Immersed like the dolphin I'll swim happily gathering salt from a tasty blue sea With the sun in my eyes I will rise (pause) when I rise... embracing the sunlight that glows in my eyes In the river of dreams I will swim along hoping to live on a wing and a song gracing the moment with hope for the day leaving behind all my sorrows, I'll pray; casting the shadows away, I will stay. Lyrics by Mystic Rose

These lyrics truly soothed my heart and it was maybe what I needed to read today, so serene and tranquil.. Especially "hoping to live on a wing and a song", "gathering salt from a tasty blue sea" Ahh, such breathtaking lines that flow softly, touching the shoreline of my heart.. Loved reading this so much :)
