"It's about having the strength to re-define your life's work. A follow-up to 'Guess Again.'" KB 

 

Emma Rae's riding on a north-bound train 

Spilling all that pain 

On the plains of Dover 

Emma Rae's crying from a hot cell phone 

She said she never felt so alone 

This time the dream is over 

 

Surely this is her darkest hour 

I've even heard her talk about a higher power 

Deep in her heart comes a tiny voice 

And it says "hold on momma, 

'Cause you've got one last choice" 

 

Bring your dreams down to the river 

And let the water wash all your dreams away 

When the night comes, it will deliver 

Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way 

 

Old man standing on a soap box 

He's wearing wool socks 

On the hottest day all year 

Old man preachin' to the handful 

With a head full 

He says "the end is surely near" 

Now, who among you even cares? 

They're turnin' circles into squares 

But deep in his heart comes a tired voice 

And it says "hold on daddy, 

You've got one last choice" 

 

Bring your dreams down to the river 

And let the water wash all your dreams away 

When the night comes, it will deliver 

Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way 

Light the way, light the way 

Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way 

 

Light the way, oh light the way 

Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
