From the recording Plug Into The Real - 2003
A surreal dream of a song. A song about 'visions', I guess you could say.
For me, this tune is a bit too 'traditional' in structure, but I do rather like the guitar solo... and the way the last verse gets really sparse before the big plunge of the last chorus.
I enjoyed putting in the super low-end synth which kicks the final chorus up a notch...
Lyrics
Was it all a dream? All a dream?
I saw the nations holding hands, on bended knee
I saw the scholars close all their books
Exchange their knowledge for puzzling looks
Yeah....
Was it all a dream? All a dream?
Saw our kings remove their crowns, and lay them at Your feet
Caught up in our junk and our jewels
We stumbled around like starstruck fools
Yeah....
Lift me high, bring me low
I want to know where You are
Heaven above and sky below
I want to go past the stars
Was it all a dream? All a dream?
I saw the dancing mountains, and the waving trees
The flowers clapped and sang so loud
As Michael swung his blade from the gathering cloud
Yeah....
Lift us high, bring us low
We want to know where You are
Heaven above and sky below
We want to go past the stars
