Once upon a summer's dream
When flowers bloomed on mountain green
We took a turn towards destiny
As we stood as one together
Destination Holy Land
We held perfection close at hand
A noble kingdom made a stand
That we thought would last forever
But summer somehow turned to fall
As our sad transgressions came to call
Left with just one standing wall
We'd no longer take for granted
Alive despite diminished glow
As winds of exile took their toll
The flowers did their best to grow
From the seeds that had been planted
Winter came with stormy skies
The world grew dark before our eyes
Seeking out our cruel demise
The petals lay torn and scattered
Faith remained and brought us through
Survival of a precious few
Through it all remaining true
To the dream that really mattered
Now spring is here, long overdue
We lived to see the world renewed
For each that perished, many grew
Forever undeterred
The birds now sing a happy tune
As grass grows green and flowers bloom
Keep the faith and someday soon
Summer will return (summer will return)
Summer will return
