That big dream you'd like to tell That fear you can't understand I wish words could give you hope I wish my silence could console you I wish our hearts could fly Beyond those borders to make us meet And like children dream again We are different but deep down a little the same Sometimes fragile, sometimes safe We are cogs in the engine of life Precious pieces of an endless story We live moments suspended in time We, blades of grass touched by the wind When a smile caresses us softly When someone reaches out to us I wish words could give you hope I wish my silence could console you I wish our hearts could fly Beyond those borders to make us meet And like children dream again Beyond those borders to make us meet And like children dream again
