Dare To Dream

Shutters they hide your eyes
Laughter, a distant song
Gone is the beguiling grin
How is it possible, yet we knew all along
There was no escape, heaven couldn't last
Caution to the wind, angels flying past
Whispered "Dare to dream"

Lovers don't choose, they only feel
Ensnared or enchanted
They sing and dance, then weep
To win, to lose, it's all the same
Curse fate to hell, shielded in love's name
Left to die, hearts awaken at last
Defying dead desires, angels flying past
Shouting "Dare to dream!"

Tired greys transformed electric blue
Hearts beating fast push fire through veins
Purple hazed with need, reluctant
But dazed by sudden greed
Tempting touches, violence tamed
Shredding at perfect beauty braved
Bodies melded, witness the innocence craved

Love denied, mourn the cost
Wrap me in anguish
At least I know what it is I lost
Cancel the celebration, then rejoice
Grief has no color
If love was not the choice
Heal my heart with tears of blue and green
Lifted on angels wings
I Dared to Dream.
