Crown in the Dream by Scott

I was a prince with a wooden sword

With a broken shield and a small reward

My father said, son, you are too young

But I had a song that was never sung

I walked the halls where the shadows grew

Past the paintings of kings I never knew

The candles were melting, the wind was cold

And I laid my head on a pillow of gold

Fell asleep like a prince, in a bed made of stone

With no crown on my head, all alone, all alone

The moon was my blanket, the stars were my friends

And I dreamed of a kingdom where the story never ends

Then the bells started ringing, the ground started shaking

The walls started moving, my heart started waking

I saw a crown floating high in the air

Made of light and of fire, just waiting there

Chorus

Crown in the dream, crown in the night

I fell asleep in the dark, I woke up in the light

Crown in the dream, made of gold and fire

I was a prince, now I am rising higher

Fell asleep like a prince, woke up like a king

With a crown made of fire and a song to sing

The kingdom was waiting, the people were calling

The banners were flying, the rain was falling

I opened my eyes to a brand new day

The castle was gold, the night went away

Knights on horses, flags in the air

Thousands of people were standing there

They said, young prince, you slept through the war

But you woke up stronger than ever before

The dragon is gone, the tower is free

The kingdom is yours, it was meant to be

I took the crown, it was heavy and bright

I took the sword, it was shining with light

I looked at the mirror, I couldn't believe

The prince was gone, the king was me

My brothers were standing right by my side

With tears in their eyes and a heart full of pride

They said, we believed in you all along

You were a prince, but you were so strong

We sang in the hall, we sang in the rain

We sang through the joy, we sang through the pain

Five voices, one heart, one king, one crown

We will never let this kingdom fall down

If you are lost, just close your eyes

And dream of a kingdom in the midnight skies

You don't need gold, you don't need fame

Just a heart that is brave and a soul with a name

For every prince who is scared in the night

There is a king waiting in the morning light

So sleep, my child, sleep in peace

For the dream is the start, and the fear will cease

I ride through the forest, I ride through the snow

Where the ancient rivers and the cold winds blow

The people are singing, the children are free

They look at their king and they look at me

I am not perfect, I am not wise

But I see the truth in their hopeful eyes

I fell asleep as a boy with a dream

I woke up as a king of a golden stream

The piano is playing in the empty hall

The trance is rising, I can feel it all

The past is gone, the future is bright

I am the prince who became the light

No more chains, no more fear

The king is finally here

The crown is heavy, but my heart is free

This is who I was always meant to be

Chorus

Crown in the dream, crown in the night

I fell asleep in the dark, I woke up in the light

Crown in the dream, made of gold and fire

I was a prince, now I am rising higher

Fell asleep like a prince, woke up like a king

With a crown made of fire and a song to sing

The kingdom was waiting, the people were calling

The banners were flying, the rain was falling

So if you fall asleep like a prince tonight

Don't be afraid of the morning light

For you might wake up, you might see

The king you were always meant to be

With a crown in the dream, waiting for thee
