They should run into the dark
Where we can sweat; one takes one by the hand
Let them crawl into the logs
Let damp ground change the hue of their pants
Excited and screaming, their voices go wild
And rise with the birds mating up in the pines
Down to puddles that breathe, covered by leaves
With mud they'll make prints on their backs
But how
Will it be just like they're dreaming
Will it be just like I'm dreaming
Will it be just like they're dreaming
Will it be just like I'm dreaming
But how
If they're awake till the dawn, well we won't
Fret that they don't have our eyes
The ghosts came and crowded around and then I
Woke, you slept there on your side
From our window, two lanterns draw signs on the night
And light our two shadows, I watch with delight
Will I want them to be who they will be
Or to be more like their dad
But how
Will it be just like they're dreaming
Will it be just like I'm dreaming
Will it be just like they're dreaming
Will it be just like I'm dreaming
When influence is threatened
Maybe I should let them
Maybe we should let them
And I have a question:
Are you also frightened
No one should call you a dreamer
Not now
