Kathy Mar Dreaming Lyrics

Dreaming Lyrics

I stood in the spaceport, my hands full of papers



And the wind tying macrame knots in my hair



Awaiting my moment to climb the chrome staircase



And enter a ship that would take me out there



And I dreamed of the children who dreamed this adventure



Who planned it for others who someday would follow



With no hope that someday would come in their lifetimes



Believing the promise and taking the dare







I stood at the viewport and gazed at tomorrow



The sun I would find at the end of my flight



Was blazing in joy from the depths of black velvet



And calling me on through the long empty night



And I prayed for the children with strange skies above them



And new worlds to wander and strong new tomorrows



The galaxy's promise was shining around me



In ebony splendor and rainbows of light







I sit on my porch-swing and dream for your children



And all I have told you is just one dream more



But dreams have a way of becoming tomorrows



Too vivid and real for us to ignore



We must all keep believing we'll span the dark spaceways



And gather the stars in a crown for our children



If all our tomorrows are not worth the dreaming



Then what in the world is the dreaming all for















Words and music:Kathy Mar
