LOST DREAMS AND FOUND DREAMS IN AMERICA

It’s a line from “Take it Where You Find It” on Van’s Wavelength album, one of his many stealth brilliant offerings, showing up for me today, in spite of so many many previous listens.

TAKE IT WHERE YOU FIND IT
Van Morrison
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it

Take it where you find it
Can't leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on

Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Many's the road I have walked upon
Many's the hour between dusk and dawn
Many's the time
Many's the mile

I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can't leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America

And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real And wake up each day of a new waking dream

Take it where you find it
Can't leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America

[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin' about a change
Change, change, change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over …

I'm gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I'm gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I'm gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light….
