Still Imagining, But It Ain’t Easy

[Verse] The sweet dreamers Hippies of my childhood Would be just as horrified as I am About what is happening nowadays Do you remember the first time we heard "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony?" We really believed it could happen Then a man named John was shot down in New York City When I was just ten [Chorus] I grew up dreaming of world peace But as I grow older I have come to understand That as long as there is greed and envy There will never be peace So Dear dreamers What can we do? [Outro] I say that we keep dreaming And teach our children and grandchildren About how things could be And maybe One day There will be peace
