Your Love Broke Through

  • Like a foolish dreamer, trying to build a highway to the sky
    All my hopes would come tumbling down, and I never knew just why
    Until today, when you pulled away the clouds that hung like curtains on my eyes
    Well I've been blind all these wasted years and I thought I was so wise
    But then you took me by surprise

    Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
    Until your love broke through
    I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
    Until your love broke through

    All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part
    And with one touch, you just rolled away the stone that held my heart
    And now I see that the answer was as easy, as just asking you in
    And I am so sure I could never doubt your gentle touch again
    It's like the power of the wind

    Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
    Until your love broke through
    I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
    Until your love, until your love, broke through Writer/s: KEITH GORDON GREEN, RANDY STONEHILL, TODD FISHKIND
