Lyrics

She sits alone on the train
Sometimes it’s constant travelling
To destinations unseen
In pages dreams are gathering
Waiting for her touch to give them life
Waiting for the colours of her mind
To release them

And turn the page on a new day
Revealing secrets held within
Seems like her whole life’s been spent waiting
For this new tale to begin

Through darkened, loud city streets
She strives to make her get away
Just needs a quiet retreat
Safe harbour to be cast away
Into worlds that live beyond the page
Into worlds of colour, bright displays
Warming her heart
Washing in

To turn the page on a new day
The sunlight warming her skin
Dreams are as real as we make them
We have to just let them in
And find those stories within

So turn the page, embrace the new day
It’s there to have and to hold
Dreams can be real if you want them
Don’t leave your story untold
