Dreams are a window on what was and what might be; a welcome escape To a world of peace and love; the brotherhood of man invested in a bright future A bright future I lie awake at night fearing the news that awaits me each day Tossing and turning, I long for a peace that is only possible in sleep Dreams aren’t what’s dangerous; they can offer a welcome escape It’s reality that has me worried; It’s what happens in the real world that’s the nightmare There used to be a balance you could count on Most people doing the right thing Now, we are careful what we say, lest Some act of stupidity or violence comes our way We are running on a road to nowhere With a cliff ahead in the distance We have to stop before it’s too late, but There’s no turning back We have to find a better path; a new direction Toward the world in our dreams Dreams are a window on what was and what might be; a welcome escape To a world of peace and love; the brotherhood of man invested in a bright future A bright future
