Wrapped in a blanket of hope Asleep in the of dreams My step into eternity was not what it might have been Or not at all For who knows which way the wind is gonna blow I'm waiting for your gentle whisper Distant child, my flower Are you blowing in the breeze? Can you feel me? As I breathe life into you In a while my flower Somewhere in a desert haze I know one day you'll amaze me An act of balancing, imagining the moment I can be Looking deep into your eyes For now a mystery Or not at all For who knows which way the wind is gonna blow I'm waiting for your gentle whisper Distant child, my flower Are you blowing in the breeze? Can you feel me? As I breathe life into you In a while my flower Somewhere in a desert haze I know one day you'll amaze me 2 hearts in the hands of time Your love bleeds into mine I'll be with you forever And give you everything I am Want you to understand It's you and I together Distant child, my flower Are you blowing in the breeze? Can you feel me? As I breathe life into you In a while my flower Somewhere in a desert haze I know one day you'll amaze me
