One They Wake

If dreamers are to dream a desire
Though it be such a distance above them so,
Undoubtedly should they fear of such heights
But once they wake, their dreamed desires,
The climb they climb, it be not for nought
For once they wake, it would prove to all
A dreamer's dream is a dream of their dream

Thoughts that lighten the darkness
Put light into the shadows of fear
But fear may not move them, for dreamer's dream
Shall hope not lure them enough
To their out-of-reach desire
But they will get there
If we dream with the dreamers
