The Dream

I had this dream In which I swam with dolphins In open sea a transparent blue (Maybe you dreamt it too) And on the earth The trees grew heavy with blossoms The rainforests had not died And the Amazon shined like an emerald Somewhere, somehow, some way We must hold back the dawn While there's still time to try Keep the faith, keep the dream alive I had this dream That we were all one family Which war and famine could not undo (Maybe you dreamt it too) Our family name Was either Kindness or Compassion We recognized each other And we recognized the light inside us Somewhere, somehow, some way We must hold back the dawn While there's still time to try Keep the faith, keep the dream alive Somewhere, somehow, some way We must hold back the dawn While there's still time to try Keep the faith, keep the dream alive Listen, the cry for freedom Echoes from Red Square to Soweto town The barricades are broken now The walls are tumbling down Somewhere, somehow, some way We must hold back the dawn While there's still time to try Keep the faith, keep the dream alive Somewhere, somehow, some way We must hold back the dawn While there's still time to try Keep the faith, keep the dream alive I woke up to find it was just a dream Why must it only be just a dream? I woke up to find it was just a dream Why must it only be just a dream? I woke up to find it was just a dream Why must it only be just a dream?
