Sometimes I can almost see
Through the shadow of mortality
Sense the smile that's on your face
Hear you say you are in this space
What if this life is the dream
What if it's not as real as it seems
What if we're born into slumber
Our light dimmed by ashes we're under
Ashes to ashes, born in a dream
Deep down I know things are not as they seem
I'll pass through life with hope when I wake
I'll see you smile and say
You delight in me
Guessing as I go to pray
I trip, slip, stumble, to find the way
To sense the smile that's on your face
Hear you say you're in this space
Ashes to ashes, born in a dream
Deep down I know things are not as they seem
I'll pass through life with hope when I wake
I'll see you smile and say
You delight in me
You reach for me. I can see your smile
You take my hand and say, Welcome home, child
And the pain slips away with the dream
Back where life is not as it seems
