The world asleep is mine

Dreams of a Crescent Moon

When darkness falls upon the tired day sending the sun away

And humans press their hands as one to pray that life will go their way

That’s when I feel awake

Up in the neon sky where the stars burst and die before they reach our eyes

I’m looking back in time to an infinite design that can never be defined

And that’s when I feel alive

Somewhere in my soul lives a particle of gold that the heavens used to hold

I’m new because I’m old recycled from a glow that never can be sold

My dreams cannot be owned

In stillness lies the truth the salt has left my wounds the clouds have cleared the view

In peace with all I do the pain that I’ve been through tonight will be subdued

Beneath the crescent moon

So gentle on the eyes the only reason why I dream awake at night

So blissful I could cry the world asleep is mine there’s honey in the sky

I’m thankful I’m alive
