My Dream

I had a dream the other night
And the whole world was at peace
It was a world filled with love
And I felt totally at ease

There were no wars or violence
Everyone saw eye to eye
Our future looked as bright
As the stars up in the sky

I could see into our future
So clear and so strong
And everyone felt safe
We all felt like we belong

Was it just a dream
That we have no more war
No-one knowing hunger
No-one knowing what it’s like to be poor

It shouldn’t be just a dream
It should be a reality
Where everyone feels safe
And not live in fear like you and me

We need a better world for our children
So a bright future can be theirs
The way the world is now
It’s a sorry state of affairs

Lets look to a future
When differences can be resolved
If there’s to be a wind of change
We must all get involved

Politicians are vote-catching
Stopping us all in the street
We must all choose wisely
And not admit defeat

If only the real world 
Could be like my dream
Be careful who you vote for
They may not be how they seem
