lyrics

(Tim O'Connor & Debbie Pullen)

In my dream I am not broken I'm smiling with no fears
In reality unspoken my mind is full of tears,
Drowning in this space I have created for myself
Picturing your heart in the care of someone else.

Show me
My broken dream

In my dream I'm am not weakened, by your cruel lack of care
When I wake I dare not speak of how I feel when you're not there
Hiding from reality has now become the norm
I hope my practicality will weather me this storm

Show me
My broken dream

Could it be the way you do me
Riding the back of a black winged bird
Could be the way you do me
On the back of a black winged bird
Riding on the back of a black winged bird
I surely can't do this anymore.

It takes the form of pain and danger closer than before
Hiding from the stranger watching in the open door
He brings quiet sleep or bleeding
The choice mine not his to make,
Either way it makes no difference my life is only his to take.

Show me
My broken dream

In my dream I am not falling
My heart free from pain and fear,
In reality I'm walled in on both sides that much is clear,
Looking up
The shadows fall
A piercing cry is heard,
Don't cry for my decision
As I ride this black winged bird.

Show me
My broken dream
Show me
My broken dream
