Give me a new dream

Make it so I don’t have to fight for it

So I don’t have to work so hard

That my nights are not filled with turmoil

And the fear of failing does not loom

In the darkest shadows of my soul

Tell me that my talents are worthy 

And that my dreams can hold on for a little bit longer

Energize my mind so that the words flow easier

Take me into a different space 

So that I won’t sit and stare with a blank face

Restore the love I used to cherish

Make sure that it stays this time

Keep me near The Cross

And let God’s words flow through my pen

Understand that I may slip away again

But I’ll always come back to you 

Return to you

With fervor and excitement

And a fire no earthly being can squelch

I sing because I am happy

I write because I am free

God’s eye is on the sparrow

I surely know He watches my dreams.
