This is an inspirational song, when you hear it it makes you feel like you can achieve anything. It is powerful and uplifting which is why I have it in my ipod, iphone and ipad as a "running track". What is a "running track " you ask? , well in my dictionary it's one of those songs you always like to start when you are on the treadmill , just when you need some inspiration to keep on going , when you have say 20 mins left and you feel like you just don't have the energy to carry on . When you feel like you have to grab that 3rd delish skinny cow cookie that you don't really need (BTW New skinny cow icecream cookie now available , coffee flavour if you have it in your countreh of residence go and try it , it's lower calories and just scrumptious )

My interpretation of this song really does tell me never to give up on my dreams and with enough faith and hard work I can come through "the fog" and achieve my dreams. There will always be those non believers who try and discourage us but we need to wake them up by showing them we can do anything we put our minds to...hmm I'm feeling inspired....maybe I'll go for a run now...well ..umm maybe later..

Lyrics :

We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
let all the dreamers
wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Silver cities rise,
the morning lights
the streets that meet them,
and sirens call them on
with a song.

It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.

We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.

We the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the dark'ning dawn.

It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your lover.

Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.

It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.


We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
let all the dreamers
wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
