Last Night

Last night I had a dream That a white and color shook hands And thought nothing of it Last night I had a dream That the world took up peace And destroyed the bombs Last night I had a dream That we had no use for trees And the earth thanked me and crowned me fairy queen Last night I had a dream That everyone was ready for birth And the children of tomorrow were born today Last night I had a dream That people learned to be gentle And the animals were sent to roam free Last night I had a dream That someone read a book of Indian ways And vowed to follow them Last night I had a dream That a person chose a new religion And wasn’t punished for believing Last night I had a dream That everyone was cured of AIDS And no one had to live in fear Last night I had a dream That people weren’t afraid of the beyond And went willingly when it was time Last night I had a dream That people learned to except And nothing had to be perfect Last night I had a dream That people earned respect And people willingly gave it Last night I had a dream That this wasn’t just a dream And the world wasn’t starving for perfection Last night I had a dream That brought me to my senses And I went to the world and tried to make my dreams come true
