IN MY DREAMS REVIVED


If today was yesterday I would know tomorrow
I could hold on to dreams and face my sorrow
History tells me not everything is what it seems
A man can trust and hold on to false dreams
For there are people in this world who live by schemes
They will cheat and lie just to get to their means
In all my years of voting there are questions that I ask
Does one of these candidates wear a mask?
Two years from now I can look back on history
But one bad vote today will answer the mystery
I remember September 10th all my plans for tomorrow made
And the next day three thousand innocent graves were laid
History shows many wars in the past soldiers lives they gave
If we coward out will this flag of ours still wave?
It is a truth not all the world this nation alone can save
