The Dream

Lyrics

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?
