"It's about having the strength to re-define your life's work. A follow-up to 'Guess Again.'" KB  
  
Emma Rae's riding on a north-bound train  
Spilling all that pain  
On the plains of Dover  
Emma Rae's crying from a hot cell phone  
She said she never felt so alone  
This time the dream is over  
  
Surely this is her darkest hour  
I've even heard her talk about a higher power  
Deep in her heart comes a tiny voice  
And it says "hold on momma,  
'Cause you've got one last choice"  
  
Bring your dreams down to the river  
And let the water wash all your dreams away  
When the night comes, it will deliver  
Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way  
  
Old man standing on a soap box  
He's wearing wool socks  
On the hottest day all year  
Old man preachin' to the handful  
With a head full  
He says "the end is surely near"  
Now, who among you even cares?  
They're turnin' circles into squares  
But deep in his heart comes a tired voice  
And it says "hold on daddy,  
You've got one last choice"  
  
Bring your dreams down to the river  
And let the water wash all your dreams away  
When the night comes, it will deliver  
Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way  
Light the way, light the way  
Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way  
  
Light the way, oh light the way  
Through the darkness, your heart is gonna light the way
