This song was commissioned by my friend, Rich Love. Our common respect for Composer/Artist, Pete Townsend, drove this music. It is a metaphysical look at the power of dreams, and it has some subtle influences of music by The WHO.

Lyrics
Richer Than Love © 2008 Wild Bill Austin (dedicated to the Rich Love Band and their vision) My dreams transcend the mortal staircase while I'm still here, living. They see beyond the daily climb, reach deep into my giving. I touch the souls who long to see, who yearn to rise above. My dreams conquer time and space. My dreams are richer than love. Richer than love. Dreams will lead you to that highest place. Richer than love. Dreams will take you light years into space, And deep into eternity before you must return; Leave silent messages inside your conscious mind can learn. Richer than love. (Richer than love.) Deep within my mind's a world where all can live in unity. But critics say that just can't be, that it's a form of lunacy. I challenge them with pens and wordpads, fight them with my wit. There's no such thing as "just can't be." It proves they don't know sh** ! chorus I listen to my inner voice. It always finds the way. Won't confuse it with suggestions other people say. For they see from inside themselves and can't relate to me. My dreams are richer than their words. My dreams have set me free. Living in the higher world will lift you from your daily flight, Far beyond confusion to that still and deepest night. break People that I meet will try to tell me how to live. In return I'm always sure to tell them how to give, For, if we'd learn to serve--no expectations in return, There would be no limit to the treasures we would earn. Chorus Wednesday April 23, 2008 Revised Thursday June 19, 2008
