When the Dream Never Dies Lyrics by Donna Summer

ELIZABETH: Deep in my heart was an
ember of longing
Kept warm by the flame of desire
A dream held in secret I yearned to
hole openly
Fanned by my hope into fire

It burned to such heat I could
touch it no more
So I put it away and then closed
up the door
Forever extinguishing all that
would keep it alive
But the dream never died

The Lord has done this for me
He has looked on me kindly
He has heard all my cries
He has given back what I laid
at his feet
It must be God
When the dream never dies

Isn't it just like the Lord to
invite me
To put all my dreams in His hands
Forever releasing the grip that once
held them
Forever surrendering my plans

And then when He's certain it's
not born of men
He calls for the fire to
rekindle again
And He asks me to know in
my heart
What's not seen with my eyes
So the dream never dies

The Lord has done this for me
He has looked on me kindly
He has heard all my cries
He has given me back what I laid
at His feet
It must be God
When the dream never dies
It must be God
When the dream never dies
