A Dream That Pulls You Through
Words & lyrics by Steve Givens

Close your eyes, O my Jenny.
Close your eyes and be still.
Lay your head upon my shoulder
and listen once again to your song.
May you grow up strong and lovely
with a mind that seeks the truth
and a heart that knows compassion
and a dream that pulls you through.

If I could guard you, O my Jenny
from the world and from the pain
that I know that you will shoulder
I would hold you like the clouds hold the rain.
And when you fell, you'd fall so gently.
And when you hurt, you'd have a friend.
A companion when you're lonely
and a dream that never ends.

I cannot keep you, O my Jenny
from mistakes along the way.
They are for you, they'll make you stronger
Just hold on to the words I sing today.
May you grow up strong and lovely
with a mind that seeks the truth
and a heart that knows compassion
and a dream that pulls you through.
