The Sword & The Spirit: Songs & Lyrics
Dream Lost In The Wind
(The Sword and The Spirit)
Words and Music by Tony DeLorenzo, Richard Ferreira and Nathan Goodwin
From our "Live at the Chandler" CD - recorded May 22, 2004 at the Chandler Music Hall in Randolph Vermont.
The children you hear on this song ARE REAL and so is their PAIN
Are you aware that there are nearly 540,000 foster children in the United States?
Reach out your hand! .......Please!
Not another sad song you say
We want to sing and dance and play
But… too many children’s tears have been shed
Maybe it’s time the adults cry instead
Maybe these words
will bring tears to your eyes
Maybe your ears
will hear their cries
Maybe your heart
will melt inside
Maybe then you’ll realize
I am a dream lost in the wind
I am a tear cried in the rain
I am a heart filled with emptiness
I am a child with out a name
I am the child nobody wanted
I am the child everyone fears
I just need someone to hold me
I cry but nobody hears
nobody hears
Don’t ask me to share my secrets
at least not today
They are all I have
that someone can’t take away
Hold me close
somebody please
Rock me gently in your arms
Give me a reason to believe
Love comes slowly
Trust isn’t built in a day
It takes years to give back
The dreams that were stolen away
