I had a dream the sky was set on fire
and a thousand different colours falling down
in my dream I was so inspired
I think it means a change is coming round
a change is coming round
I could see it all so very clear
looking through the bright eyes of a child
those storms raging all around
I could only see the other side
see the other side
for a while
I don't care what comes tomorrow
I'm alive
and that's all I need today
when I awoke colours began to fade
like a rainbow disappearing before my eyes
but somehow the inspiration still remains
I think it means a new day has arrived
a new day has arrived
for a while
I don't care what comes tomorrow
I'm alive
