Like a foolish dreamer, trying to build a highway to the sky
All my hopes
Would come tumbling down, and I never knew just why
Until today, when You pulled away the clouds
That hung like curtains on my eyes
Well, I’ve been blind
All these wasted years and I thought I was so wise
But then You took me by surprise

Like waking up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
I’ve been lost in a fantasy
That blinded me
Until Your love broke through

All my life I’ve been searching for that crazy missing part
And with one touch
You just rolled away the stone that held my heart
And now I see that the answer was as easy
As just asking You in
And I am so sure
I could never doubt Your gentle touch again
It’s like the power of the wind

Like waking up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
I’ve been lost in a fantasy
That blinded me
Until Your love, Your love broke through
Like waking up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
Until Your love broke through
