My Dream (A Vision Of Peace)

Where the mountains touch the sky

Where poets DREAM, where eagles fly

A secret place above the crowd

Just beneath a silver-lined cloud.

Lift your eyes to a snowy peak

And see the soon-to-be we seek

Whisper DREAMS and let them rise

To the mountains old and wise.

Climbers climb, it’s time to try

Where the mountains touch the sky
Take me there. Oh take me now…

Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow!

Where the ocean meets the sky

Where dolphin dance and seagulls fly

A place in DREAMS, I know so well
The sea inside a single shell.

Far across the living sea

A pale blue possibility
Beyond the castles made of sand

Tomorrow in a small child’s hand.

Only DREAMERS need apply

Where the ocean meets the sky

Take me there. Oh take me now…

Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow.

A common ground for one and all

Behind the crystal waterfall

Where Peace flows like a mighty stream

Like Dr. King I have a DREAM.

Imagine such a goal in sight

For red and yellow, black and white

New Delhi, Peking, Kenya, Rome

Earth is the place that we call home.

Baghdad, Bangkok, Tel Aviv

One race HUMAN, we still believe

It matters what we say and do

This DREAM is ME, this DREAM is YOU!

When walls of hate have fallen fast

When prejudice has long since passed

When last is first and first is last

Come DREAM with me

Where the forest reach the sky

Wake up and DREAM and don’t be shy.

No thorns of war, a perfect rose

This is where Gandhi’s DREAM grows

Whisper now; let the DREAM begin

It’s time to trust the truth within.

This is where we seek and find

A gift in being colorblind

DREAM on DREAMERS, hopes are high

Where the forest reach the sky.

Take me there. Oh take me now

Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow.

Now, listen close, the future calls…

Build your bridges and tear down walls!

For time has taught and so it seems

Realities are born of DREAMS!

Blessed are the peacemakers…
