Dream Again Songtext

von Matthew West

One stopped on the day she heard him say
"I don't love you anymore"
One stopped on the front porch, 6 years old watching dad walk out the door

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

One stopped when the doctors said,
"You'll never have a baby of your own"
And one stopped after two attempts at rehab
Couldn't help him get control

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And dream again

Your lungs are still breathing
Your heart is still beating
The end's where the future begins
Just open your eyes, open your eyes
And dream again

All your would've beens, your could've beens, your should've beens
Just give 'em all to me
Take one last look at who you were
And now let me show you who you still can be
Open your eyes, just open your eyes
And dream again

I know the plans that I have for you
A hope and a future, a future

One starts at the altar where "I'll never love again" becomes "I do"
One starts with a whisper, child, you've always had a Father here with you
And one starts with a baby in the backseat that they thought they'd never be bringing home
And one starts down on bended knee crying, "Jesus, I finally see, I can't beat this on my own"
