Lamentations of An Idealistic Individual
I'm dreaming of a better tomorrow
With brighter days and more smiles
I'm dreaming of a place without sorrow
Where there are no more trials
I am hoping daily for the people everywhere
To reach out and help someone in need
I am praying steadfastly for everlasting care
From all nations united to plant the seed
Of peace, love, and understanding to everyone
And that no more tears or blood will be shed
And all people from corner to corner are no longer alone
And don't wind up in wars which leaves innocence dead
I'm closing my eyes and seeing a place full of joy
Where there are no prejudices and hate
I'm dreaming of a world for every girl and boy
Born of the next generation that is great
I may do the dreaming but there are others just like me
Who want the same things for our youth
Let us stop dreaming and work on making it a reality
And let us all work together to beautify the earth
