Theme From Dreamland

The Miracle Mile




in a field, by a lake, near a town
where nobody seems to come around
you will find a road that goes
where spirits they are often found

   be sure to stop by the old oak tree
   whose branches bend to the scenery
   and linger there for just a little while
   before you walk the miracle mile

a covered bridge lies past the crest
some like it best, me, i find it rather odd
many have crossed at cost, thinking they
and they alone have seen the face of God

   be sure to stop by the old oak tree
   whose branches bend to the scenery
   and linger there for just a little while
   before you walk the miracle mile

the golden rods and the cat-tail fights, such a sight
the child you were laughs in the dusk
and your mother calls but you can't go
sad you know, but you know you must

   be sure to stop by the old oak tree
   whose branches bend to the scenery
   and linger there for just a little while
   before you walk the miracle mile

the miracle mile

There For You

  

Version One:  Vocals by Leah Edwards
Version Two:  Vocals by Wm.Bates

In this world and in these times
there for you...there for you
Through bitter tears and eyes laid blind
there for you...there for you

Come what may, we face the storm
For that day when the faceless have their form
Where dreams are real and worthy of the fight
Our flag still waves into the dying of the light

In your hands and in your secret thoughts
there for you...there for you
There is a gift that cannot be bought
there for you...there for you

Come what may, the heart so vast
It may be fragile but built to last
Where dreams are real and worthy of the fight
Our flag still waves through the dying of the light

The cradle rocks and the bell it tolls
there for you...there for you
The in between that forms all we know
there for you...there for you

Come what may, love still endures
Of that I know, Of that I'm sure
Where dreams are real and worthy of the fight
Our flag still waves into the gleaming twilight

THERE FOR YOU
