Dreamers (acoustic original)

c. 2011 Little song about the substance that keeps me motivated.

Dreamers:
When did we miss the joke
and only take it personal?
When did our grace get broke
and guilt become the usual?
It's only time before Love demands we get it right...

And I don't want to keep shifting in the hot light,
I'm feeling steady glowing warm in these eyes
with you and me dreaming how to get it right...

These shoes aren't gripping road
tangled up in uniform.
They're not leaving Shame's neighborhood
and running towards the Dreamers' dorms...
It's only time before Love demands we get it right...

And I don't want to keep shifting in the hot light,
I'm feeling steady glowing warm in these eyes
with you and me dreaming how to get it right...

From the start it was your heart
that held me in - hold me again:
Gracious, compassionate,
slow to anger, and rich in love...

@Oswlek Thanks, Justin, great to hear from you, man! I wish I had some profound artistic answer to claim for the artwork, but I honestly was just playing with a bunch of the special effects on the video editor software I've been using (Corel Video Studio Pro) and it was one of the effects already built in (video sketch, I think). Pretty cool, huh? Someone else was very creative in making that effect! Hope you and your family are well!

Nice chorus, Brad, and you nailed the bridge with the strum changes.

How did you do the artwork?
