[English]

Dream

Beyond dreams

Beyond life

You will find

Your

Song

Before sound

To be found

Close your eyes

And

Rise

Higher still

Endless thrill

To the land

Of

Love

Beyond love

Come alive

Angel eye

Forever watching you and I

You are the night

You are the ocean

You are the light behind the cloud

You are the end and the beginning

A world where time is not allowed

There's no such thing as competition

To find our way we lose control

Remember love's our only mission

This is a journey of the soul

The perfect song is framed with silence

It speaks of places never seen

Your home's a promise long forgotten

It is the birthplace of your dreams

...
