A dream I had some time last night
A dream that turned my brain
Of a land where children had no hunger
And men feel no pain
The questions all were answered
The truth was very plain
And I'll go to sleep tonight and try
To dream that dream again
The men were strong and gentle
The girls were shy and warm
Couples spoke in loving words
of children to be born
Sorrow, hate and loneliness
understand
The air was fresh and good to breathe
And peace was on the land
Now I hear the counting
Of the dead across the sea
The cry for help from people
Who want only to be free
It's very hard to turn my back
Now that I'm awake
I've got to go and do my best
And try for heaven's sake
To reach out to my brother
to offer him my hand
to bild a chain of love and truth
and justice in the land
Be careful when you sleep tonight
Be careful what you dream
For if you dream what I have dreamed
You'll never be the same
You'll have to come and join with me
To reach out with your hand
To build a chain of love and truth
And justice in the land
To build a chain of love and truth
And justice in the land
