Chris Rice Deep Enough To Dream
Lazy summer afternoon Screened-in porch and nothin' to do I just kicked off my tennis shoes Slouchin' in a plastic chair Rakin' my fingers through my hair I close my eyes and I leave 'em there And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away (CHORUS) Deep enough to dream in brilliant Colors I have never seen Deep enough to join a billion People for a wedding feast Deep enough to reach out and touch The face of the One who made me And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace Do I ever have to wake up Awakened by a familiar sound A clumsy fly is buzzin' around He bumps the screen and he tumbles down He gathers about his wits and pride And tries again for the hundredth time 'Cause freedom calls from the other side And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away (repeat chorus) 'Cause peace is pouring over my soul See the lambs and the lions playin' I join in and I drink the music Holiness is the air I'm breathin' My faithful heroes break the bread And answer all of my questions Not to mention what the streets are made of My heart's held hostage by this love (repeat chorus) Do I ever have to wake up Do I ever have to wake up Do I really have to wake up now
