Dreamer
Phil Sweet

He was a dreamer
He would look up at the sky
Believe there was more beyond
Just another mile down

He was a stranger
Always lonely for his home
And all of these things gathered him
To the country he called his own

He spoke of You often
As he cried out Your name

He said You would hold us
He said we could be with You
He said You had made us
We did not make You
He said you were everyman
So You could understand
The trouble that’s bound to come

He was a preacher
Disturbin’ everybody’s peace
Believed that the just would live
The strong should care for the weak

He was a lover
But he always had a broken heart
For we could never return the love
He’d learned how to give

He said it came from You
When he cried out Your name

He said You would hold us
He said we could be with You
He said You had made us
We did not make You
He said you were everyman
So You could understand
The trouble that’s bound to come

And when you picked up
Pieces pure and true
I know he heard
Music that was higher
And did it surpass
The sound that he once heard
I know he went home
In a chariot of fire

He was a dreamer
Now he looks down at the sky
He was a stranger
Who finally found his home
He was a preacher
Now he lives in perfect peace
He was a lover
He ain’t lonely anymore
