05 Keeper Of My Dreams (Mastered)

Oh the keeper of my dreams she'd been for long as I remember
Every time my soul would start to burn, she'd do her best to re-light the ember
Yeah she gave me everything she could and watched as I usurped them,
but I guess that's just the price one pays to make from coal a gem.

So I'm gonna be a diamond
In the rough.
One day I will walk through that door
Lord, I know it'll be tough.
But I'm gonna be a diamond
In the rough.
When I do, you can light me ablaze, and watch a phoenix rising on up.

I once knew this woman, she watched me day and night.
She cared and fed and loved and held
and never let me out of her site.
Yeah she taught me a few things.
Basically everything I know.
Now she's gone and left this world
I feel alone, and like there's nowhere I can go.

So i'm gonna be a diamond
In the rough.
One day I will walk through that door.
Lord, I know it'll be tough
but I'm gonna be a diamond
In the rough.
When I do you can light me ablaze
and watch a phoenix rising on up.

Yeah one day, I'll have my own
I assume with little doubt.
When I do, I'll sing these songs for them
and tell 'em "child, you'll never go without."

"I'll be the keep of your dreams my child
for long as you'll remember.
Every time your soul may start to fade,
I'll do my best to re-light the ember.
I'll be the keeper of your dreams my child
you'll never go without."
While my own keeper smiles, watching from above
saying "child, I never had a doubt."
