So, I keep looking at the palms 
Just like you told me 
I need to do 
To wake up from a dream 

To wake up from a dream 
I haven’t wished for 
From a dream I am not up to 

And nothing happens 
For days, or weeks, or months 
Or who could say what measure of time 
There is to pass 

And it’s hard 
Harder I ever thought it could be 
For me to be in this dream 

I keep looking at my palms 
Wide open 
Looking at me 

And nothing happens 
For real 

But I still trust you 
Because you’re the one who knows
The one who feels 

So, just for the night 
Will you come to my dream 
Cause palms, they won’t do the trick 

And I’m tired of dreaming this dream 
Tired of playing the role 
Others gave me 

Tired of being strong,
Of doing things right  

With my eyes open 
I want to see the dawn and the fiery skies 
And hear the birds’ song 
And feel your palm onto mine 
With your voice telling me it’s a new day 
And that everything will be alright
