Trans-siberian Orchestra - Dream Child (a Christmas Dream) lyrics

In the night Was the dark In the dark Was the dream In the dream Was the Child And myself There unseen In the book was the word In the word there was truth In the truth there was age In the age there was youth And I said to the Child Do your hands they still bleed After all of this time Do you think there's still need But the Child only smiled And said not a word And the snow it came down As if it hadn't heard And all that night the snow came down To heal the scars our lives had found And the dreams that lay broken And there upon a bridge of dreams Across the night we walked unseen With no words ever spoken And then on through that night We did walk for a while And our steps turned to blocks And the blocks turned to miles Then we followed a path For as far as we could Till we found ourselves there In an evergreen woods There were thousands of candles Upon every tree It was beautiful But there was one mystery For with all of those candles You must understand That the only one lit Was now in that Child's hand And there upon that Christmas scene The candle wax of melted dreams And the years they had taken And as the snow did gently fall He one by one relit them all Till each dream was awakened And there to that light That young Child showed to me All the things that he dreamt All the things that might be How for everything given That something was gained Strike one match in the dark And all the world's not the same And then I asked that Child Why this night has a star And he said, "So we'd know That we could see that far" And these candles are wed To that distant star's light And it all came to be Upon that long winter's night That long winter's night That long winter's night That long winter's night And when I awoke, well the Child he was gone But somewhere in my mind I believe he lives on And somewhere in my life Between here and the end On a long winter's night I will dream him again THEN SHE NOTICED ON SOME CHRISTMAS CARDS A REDDISH PURPLE STAIN WHERE SOMEONE HAD SPILLED SOME CHRISTMAS WINE AND THERE IT HAD REMAINED UNTIL THE HEAT FROM A RADIATOR WHISTLING IN THE AIR HAD CAUSED IT TO EVAPORATE INTO AN ANGEL'S SHARE
