A Man's Dream
A world of peace
unified by love
a man's dream
a message of equality
he said i could be
I wish I could be
a working class hero
close your eyes
open your mind
set sail tonight
the sea of dreams
find a new place
a kingdom unknown
everybody's loved
a throne ruled by peace
prose to reality
could this ever be
if we imagine
"they shot him"
they called out
echoing in every heart
the dreamer, the poet
struck down, taken away
to stop a revolution
to silence his cries
"power to the people"
the dreamer died that day
but the dream lives
the world must hold on
not forget his words
and strive to change
dream the dream
kill the discriminate eye
can we be unified
under a banner of love
can we live together
in a house of peace
I ask you......
can we live the dream?
