As I mentioned above, Ricki made significant lyric edits ... I loved every word of the very first edit she sent to me! Below is the original version.

Wake Up, My Dream...(original version)

Benjamin! I called to him in my mind
As I stared at the ultrasound
Then down at the ground
How could a loss so heavy weigh less than a pound?
Sixteen weeks into his fetal life
I sensed he was more alive than me
I expected him to be so strong
Til life and death went wrong

Chorus
Benjamin! I wanted to say
I wont let you float away
Benjamin! it will be okay
But only if you stay
Benjamin! I wanted to scream
Make your heart beat on that screen!
Benjamin! this is just a bad dream!
Wake up, my dream, wake up

Im sorry your baby didnt make it
I heard the doctor telling me
Next step surgery
Right away theres no time before you start to bleed
Im bleeding already for my son
Cant you see the bloodshed in my tears?
After all these years my cheeks wont dry
The mother in me dies

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Benjamin! I still call to him
Wake up my dream, wake up
Benjamin!

Repeat Chorus
