2.- Lyrics

(Intro)
I have a dream
a song to sing
to help me cope
with anything
If you see the wonder
of a fairy tale
you can take the future
even if you fail

(Chorus)
I believe in angels
something good
in everything I see
I believe in angels
when I know the time
is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

I have a dream of fantasy
to help me through reality

And my destination
makes it worth the while
pushing through the darkness
still another mile
