lyrics

I dreamed I’d build a tower for the King
I guess that I was dreaming Joseph’s dream
My head in the clouds
I set my best foot forward, raised my head
I’d see what I was made of in the end
My castle in the sky

Were You surprised when I was fooled again?
When I didn’t count the cost, didn’t see where this would end?

The tower of my dreams
Why must it plague me?
I’m reaching out in faith
Falling short of what I see
The tower of my dreams

I’m a sinking ship at my own game
Water overboard
A deluge of shame, here to douse my flame
It seems I’ve lost my course
Will I dream no more?

Let’s start over
Let’s start over again

I won’t be a flash in a pan in the end
So let’s start over again
Let’s start over again
Let’s start over

I dreamed I’d build a tower for the King

And now I see what it all means
And now I’m free to dream again
And I won’t hide in my selfish pride
Because these dreams aren’t mine

Were You surprised?

The tower of my dreams
Why must it plague me?
I’m reaching out in faith
Falling short of what I see
The tower of my dreams
Was never meant to be my burden
I’m not the architect, no
Only the heir to what’s been shown

You’re the Giver of my dreams
The Giver of my dreams
