I Have a Dream
I have a dream
I am in darkness
I look and see a world
Only wanting evolution
Picking and grabbing
Until all remaining life
is lost in time
I see a world
Conquered, and in pain
By men after men
Wanting only power
I see a world
A Victorian world
Hardworking, truthful, yet full of lies
Those advanced rule all
I see a world
Wanting revolution
Wanting an idea only to change it the next day
Changing in blood
I see a world
Countries still divided
But trying to hold for a hope
A hope of peace and nationalism
I see a world
Of growing towns of steel
And motorized metal
Clanking over a ground unprepared
I see a world
Where men stand up
Different colors, with hands high
Chanting a chant of love
To be free
I see a world
Full of terror
Leaders who struggle
And people who search
For someone to blame
I see a world
A world of blue
Of beauty
With peace, and love
All is well
All are happy
Poverty is gone
And wars, dissolved
Then I awake
I start to cry
I had a dream
