lyrics

Verse 1:

I got a ticket to somewhere
Standing in nowhere's line
Better refocus and catch the right plane
On time
Hope I'm not running too far behind

Do myself a disservice
watching their highlight reels
Always more to the story
Whatever's revealed
I still believe all of my dreams
Will make room for me

Chorus:

Suddenly
The imagery reel's overflowing
With every positive possibility and color
Taking on the wave
And I can't wait 'till I celebrate
In the moment

Verse 2:

What happens to a dream
When it's left alone?
Will it ever have the chance to grow?
I don't know
Won't be waiting 'round here to see
I want this dream to become a reality

Vamp:

This is for my lungs
The remedy to keep that
Oxygen deep in
This is for the hungry
Deferred dreamers like me
That still need feeding

This is for the option
Going wherever your art
Takes you to
This is for the times when
No one else believes but you

This is for my lungs
The remedy to keep that
Oxygen deep in
This is for the hungry
Deferred dreamers like me
That still need feeding

This is for my lungs
The remedy to keep that
Oxygen deep in
This is for the hungry
Deferred dreamers like me

Chasing after that dream
This is the sign
You've been waiting on
So take it and grind

As a love letter back to God, and as a personalized message to you, the listener, I hope you take from these words and melodies, the same salt and light of God's word that inspired me to write them.
