Lyrics

I have stood on a distant shore, felt the solitude like I felt before, from deepest sea to the stratosphere, from dawn 'til dusk what's inbetween is a dream undreamed, undreamed

We are the keepers of the dream, from dawn 'til dusk we're inbetween the cradle and the grave, creations' returning.

I have seen an old man broken down but holding onto life, with all his might.

He is the keeper of the dream, from dust to dust he's inbetween, the cradle and the grave, creations' journey

He knows life and he loves life, it's whet his appetite for eternity
