The Living Wells - A Dream lyrics

This is a dream that I really had An old man was standing on a lily pad In the sky as high as what must've been a mile White flowing beard surrounding a familiar smile And I was also standing there On a lower lily pad but still suspended in the air Then he looked at me like he knew me And slowly, he opened his palm and extended it out to me I knew what he wanted, he didn't have to speak But I was so afraid that he was beyond my grasp to reach Only after sleep did I realize that he was asking me Do I believe in myself enough to push past and leap Should I take his hand? You better take it
