Original composition by Michael Schuller
Lyrics: MaryLynn Gillaspie

lyrics

Every night
Lying down to close my eyes
Letting go to softly
Enter new surprise

Visions of colorful invitation
A portal opens wide:
Destination!

Now I’m flying, running in the open air
But everywhere I’m running to
Leads to a stair (despair??)

Upwards is downwards
And I’m turned around
Slip into a window
All without a sound

Thought I saw a rainbow-colored butterfly
Walk into the room
Before he said goodbye

Everything around me
Started falling down
Then magically I’m lifted high above the ground


Turning, tumbling
Tryin’ to keep me from stumbling

Entrance/Exit
All topsy-turvy
What’s next?!

(a)Waken/Broken
Spellbound
Visions are all spoken
All I can do is try to find my way home









Promises keeping
Silences weeping
Flying too high
I can’t touch the ground

When I’m waking
I’m dreaming
Under the spell
Lucid recalling
Hypnotic farewell
And it’s all I can do to try to find my way….


Waking and dreaming
Silences weeping
Flying too high
I can’t touch the ground

When I’m waking
I’m broken
Visions are spoken
Lucid recalling
I’m not yet home

When I’m turning
I’m tumbling
Dreams begin crumbling
Flying too high
I can’t touch the ground

When I’m waking
I’m dreaming
Under the spell
Lucid recalling
Hypnotic farewell
And it’s all I can do to try to find my way….
