I dream of peace in all the world
I dream of truth and beauty in every heart
I dream of white flags held high in every hand
And of forgiveness and tears of joy and innocence
But then I realize it's only a dream...
I dream of no more conflicts and wars
I dream of no more greed and hate in human hearts
I dream of no more violence in the thoughts of man
Of no more pain or hunger or thirst or ignorance
But then I realize it's only a dream...
I dream of love in the purest of ways
I dream of devotion and faithfulness in the soul
I dream of the power of the universe in every heart
Of eternity and forever and of life in the stars
But then I realize it's only a dream...
If you dream with me these very dreams
If the hope of heaven still lingers in your heart
If the song of birds and the laughter of babies
And the joys and peace of the end of days matter still
Then we can make these dreams come true...
