DREAMS COME TRUE- Journeys Ft. Lev Tahor- Composed By Abie Rotenberg- Journeys 4 (Also Sung By Diaspora Yeshiva Band- The Reunion @ Carnegie Hall)
Let me tell a tale, I beg you all to listen,
I think you’ll recognize that every word is true.
It’s the story that I tell about my brother,
The brother that I loved but hardly knew.
We were forced to live so far from one another,
But it was more than distance keeping him from me.
While I had the right to lead the life I’d chosen,
All he yearned for was the day that he’d be free.
CHORUS:
How I dreamed that one day we could be together,
Doing all the things that brothers do.
But I feared that I would have to dream forever,
For only dreamers still believe that dreams come true.
I fought with all my strength to gain his freedom,
And challenged those who dared keep us apart.
I pleaded for compassion, “he’s my brother,”
But there’s no mercy when the soul is cold and dark.
The years and decades followed one another,
And I worried what they must have done to him.
Though the flame that made us brothers was still burning,
I knew that tiny spark was growing dim.
CHORUS:
How I dreamed that one day we could be together,
Doing all the things that brothers do.
But I feared that I would have to dream forever,
For only dreamers still believe that dreams come true.
But He who rules the world heard our prayers,
How I wept the day they set my brother free.
And I wondered, would he find faith with his freedom,
In my heart I knew that it was up to me.
Oh I realized the first time that I embraced him,
He’s a stranger who feels awkward and alone.
But I have just what it takes to make him welcome,
A brother’s love to make him feel at home.
CHORUS:
How I dreamed that one day we could be together,
Doing all the things that brothers do.
But I feared that I would have to dream forever,
For only dreamers still believe that dreams come true.
How I dreamed that one day we could be together,
Doing things that brothers do,
Now that day has come and it will last forever.
For I know and I believe, yes I know and I believe,
I’m a dreamer who believes that dreams come true.
