Ruth Buettner - In My Dreams, Sweet Child Lyrics

Opens her tired eyes, can barely talk
Wheeled down the hall, body too weak to walk
Another day in a white world- medicine, scans, and tubes
Cuddled in a pink blanket. Handed ballerina pink balloons

Eyes light up and smiles- brighter than the sun
Dreams to be a dancer- someday when this is done
Another fight. Another round. Another battle won
Another child. Another life. Healing just begun
In my dreams, sweet child, you are free. Free of pain. Free to play
You'll live in a carefree world someday
You are healthy. You are blessed. You are loved
Free to dance. Free to laugh. Free to run
You are happy. You are warm. You are safe
Free of fear. Free of hunger. Free of hate
In my dreams, sweet child, you'll live in a carefree world someday

Open his tired eyes, can barely see
Can barely move, body too weak to eat
Another day of painful war, his body's going through
Cuddles his teddy bear, favorite band walks in the room

His eyes light up and smiles- brighter than the sun
Dreams to be a singer -someday when this is done
Another fight. Another round. Another battle won
Another child. Another life. Healing just begun

In my dreams, sweet child, you are free. Free of pain. Free to play
You'll live in a carefree world someday
You are healthy. You are blessed. You are loved
Free to dance. Free to laugh. Free to run
You are happy. You are warm. You are safe
Free of fear. Free of hunger. Free of hate
In my dreams, sweet child, you'll live in a carefree world someday
Another fight. Another round. Another battle won
Another child. Another life. Healing just begun. Healing just begun
