Give up all visions for the future,
all desires, dreams, and fears.
Give up all cherished memories
and judgments from the past,
All triumphs and failures.

Enter with me into what is left,
which must be only what is right here, right now.
All that is, is present here with us.
This is our home, it's where we live
even while we sleep and dream of other worlds.
We awake together here forever,
and there, not at all.

Dreams have a past, a future, a story,
but go nowhere.
Still they are dear to the part of us
that knows of loss and fear.

Opening my hand I let them fall;
now empty, it reaches to hold yours.
So will we awake together
when finished with our dreams;
Hand in hand we'll rise
to greet the dawn.
