To Dream Out Loud

Don't go giving up now on the Closin' of a door 
Does the Cause that you been Fightin' for not matter anymore
Should you Hide beneath the Sands or Fade away into the Clouds 
Or are you Brave enough to be the one .....to Dream out Loud

Have you Tempted Faith before and gotten Bitten for your Time
Have you walked the Hills of Calvary or with Pontius Pilate dined 
Did you gaze upon His Face as they tore away the Shroud
Or were you Brave enough to be The One. .... to Dream out Loud

Will you Bite the Hand that Feeds you will you Toil like Honest Men
Will you Mark the Passing Eons 'til He Rises yet again
Will your Soul be Scorched in Anger or your Faithful head be Bowed 
Or will you Brave the Tide and be The One to Dream out Loud

So don't go giving up now, on the closing of a door
The dreams that you've been fighting for will matter, evermore
Don't hide beneath the sands nor fade away, into the clouds
Brave the tide and be the one... to Dream Out Loud

This is a truly exceptional piece, I feel priveledged to be the first to comment on it. Spiritualy relevant and artistically expressed.
