Father Dreamer
Words and music by Karen Willson


On a faraway hill
We call Donner's mountain
My grandfather sleeps
'neath a slab of stone

And he dreams dreams
Dreams that shape tomorrow
For in grandfather's sleep
There is no time, only hope

	He dreams running water
	Dancing in the sunlight
	Teaming with precious life
	Where we can drink

	He dreams fields of green
	That color the mountains with golden light
	He paints a starry night
	Another place for us to reach

		And when the magic's done
		Could take him a thousand years
		He'll think of us
		And pluck(?) us from memory's eye

		And we'll grow again
		Children of starlight
		Safe from the endless night
		Safe under the stars

		And he'll sleep once more
		Our father cloaked in magic
		Dreaming new other worlds
		For other children, other homes

On a far away hill
We call Donnor's mountain
My grandfather sleeps
'Neath a slab of stone

And he dreams dreams
Dreams that shape tomorrow
For in grandfather's sleep
There is no time, only home

And he dreams dreams
Dreams that shape tomorrow
For in grandfather's sleep
There is no time, only hope
