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
