Story Behind The Song
Written in 1984 just as Nightrider was breaking up...the first song I recorded in a studio on my own...this version is the recently re-recorded version. The lyrics are really just flashes of images and feelings I was experiencing as I came to grips with my faith.

Lyrics
Tonight I?m standing in the rain
Summer light has passed before my eyes
The dream, will it ever be the same
Hold me, hold me again
Lightning, lighting up the sky
I saw him, he was there and I know he won?t pass me by
Where there?s magic there are dreams to hide the lie
The dream, please don?t killl the dream
(Chorus)
Hold on to the magic in your heart
Closer to him now we must never part
There?s an answer if we stand together
Forever
No one can stop the force that guides me
(No one can deny me)
Leading me on to a brighter light
(shining, shining)
There?s a fire deep inside me
(burning deep inside me)
Walk with me, hold my hand, I need you beside me
(Lead)
Tonight I?m standing in the rain
Summer light has passed before my eyes
But the dream I have will lift my spirits high
The dream, you can?t kill the dream
(Chorus)
Hand in hand, if we stand
We can reach the promised land
(repeat)
