Deep Enough To Dream Lyrics

Lazy summer afternoon
Screened in porch and nothin' to do
I just kicked
off my tennis shoes
Slouchin' in a plastic chair
Rakin' my fingers
through my hair
I close my eyes and I leave them there
And I yawn, and
sigh, and slowly fade away

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors
I
have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people
For a wedding
feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made
me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake
up

Awakened by a familiar sound
A clumsy fly is buzzin' around
He
bumps the screen and he tumbles down
He gathers about his wits and
pride
And tries again for the hundredth time
'Cause freedom calls from
the other side
And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away

Deep enough
to dream in brilliant colors
I have never seen
Deep enough to join a
billion people
For a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and
touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the
peace
Do I ever have to wake up

'Cause peace is pouring over my
soul
See the lambs and the lions playin'
I join in and I drink the
music
Holiness is the air I'm breathin'
My faithful heroes break the
bread
And answer all of my questions
Not to mention what the streets are
made of
My heart's held hostage by this love

And these brilliant
colors I have never seen
I join a billion people for a wedding feast
And
I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I
feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up

Do I ever have to
wake up
Do I ever have to wake up
Do I really have to wake up now
