One Dream Is All It Takes

Little girl lying on your bed,
crying like your mothers going to cry.
Little girl staring at the stars,
distant as the measure to the moon.

They say you dreamed last night,
meaning came in to your empty life
the future world was yours,
and happy ever after ever more.

Little girl, sadness like the breeze,
seed inside you growing like a curse.
Mother love frightened and alone
lonely as the desert feels tonight.

They say you dreamed last night,
destiny would hold you and take flight.
Your son alive and loved
and everything was going to be all right.

Little girl crying like a child
even though you are a woman now.
Do not fear, close your stinging eyes
sunrise will tomorrow be for you.

One kiss and dream this night
an angel voice from heaven with your name.
It only takes one dream...
it only takes one dream
to change the world.
