Teach me to dream of lights and victory,
teach me to dream of bright colors and dark shades,
the sunset as it melts into the sea,
teach me to dream.

Teach me to dream of knowledge and legends,
music and sound,
nouns and pronouns,
teach me things i could never learn awake,
teach me to dream.

Teach me to dream of romance and love,
peace and mourning doves,
death and loss,
Teach me all the things i couldn't face awake,
teach me to dream.

Teach me to dream of stars and great wishes,
hope and trust and everything missing,
things i never could see with eyes wide open,
teach me to dream.
