Soft as Fern and Dew

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Soft and slow

Verse 1

They say the river's running dry

They say the forests hold their breath

I lie awake and wonder why

A dream should cost me anything but rest

They hand me headlines like a stone

They weigh the future in their hands

And ask me why I build a home

When every road is burning sand

Pre-Chorus

But I still hear the meadowlark

Still feel the morning on my skin

And somewhere past the falling dark

A little light keeps creeping in

Chorus

It's okay to dream

Let it be soft as fern and dew

It's okay to dream

The world can wait a moment more for you

Dream dream dream

Close your eyes and let it through

Verse 2

Is wanting foolish in these times

Is hoping just a warmer lie

I count the worries in my mind

And still I reach for open sky

My grandmother she planted pine

She never saw the branches tall

She watered dirt and trusted time

And that was something after all

Pre-Chorus

So I will sing to open fields

And I will trust the summer rain

The smallest bloom that daylight yields

Can hold a whole world's worth of pain

Chorus

It's okay to dream

Let it be soft as fern and dew

It's okay to dream

The world can wait a moment more for you

Dream dream dream

Close your eyes and let it through

Bridge

Maybe it's a risk

Maybe it's naive

But I'd rather be the one who dares to believe

Than stand with both feet buried in the grief

Drop

Dream dream dream

Dream dream dream

Chorus

It's okay to dream

Let it be soft as fern and dew

It's okay to dream

The world can wait a moment more for you

Dream dream dream

Close your eyes and let it through
