Peter Xifaras - Dreams in Bloom: The Encounter Lyrics

Every return is a rush to get there.
Today I rush like there's no time to spare.
So exciting to go, but so excited to get back,
Back to my village, to its people, to my life.

Home is where my past and my present thrive.
Home is where the story of my life comes alive.
Finally, I'm here, in the place my heart holds dear.

There I stood stock-still in the street.
Fear the only sound, destruction the only sight.
Frozen to the ground, my mind shut down.
It was clear nothing and no one would be spared.

Through the chaos and despair, a stranger appears.
Strong and brave, my life, is suddenly saved.
Away from the danger, I was pushed and pulled.

The closer to the sea we came, the faster we moved.
Death gave chase, but somehow we escaped.
From the safety of a stranger's ship, I stared as my village disappeared.
The pain in my heart brought the silence and the dark.

Thanks to a stranger, fates course realigns
And the gift of tomorrow is mine.
So on I sail, my life just a strange untold tale.
