"Dreams that Won't Quit"

Leddy Hammock Inspired by "Don't Ask Me To Give up this Dream" from "Twelve Women of the Chalice" Cd set, music by Sue K. Riley and lyrics by Leddy Hammock: With my back to the past, I let everything go. I am leaving behind me the life I have known, In this meadow of memories, nothing can grow. I am leaving the life I have known. There are those who will say it is safer to stay Where the voices around me all call me by name. But, I'll follow the longing that leads me away From the voices that call me by name. Don't ask me to give up this dream. Wherever it takes me, I'll go. No matter how hopeless this journey may seem, Don't ask me to give up this dream. I will gather my good from the seeds of the past, My blessing will come by the work of my hands. From the heat of the day to the sunset at last, I'll be blessed by the work of my hands. Don't ask me to give up this dream.
