The Dream

Jim Savarino © 1991

I had a dream last night
It's not so unusual to dream at night
When the sun is gone and the only light
Comes from the place where your dreams lay

It was a lovely sight
The stars were shining in the morning light
Her hair was soft and her eyes were bright
There in the place where our love lay

It was a peaceful world
No one starving and no one at war
No one's reasons worth fighting for
And no one's country was a prison

But then my dream was broke
The sun was shining and when I awoke
It was the same old world, oh what a cruel joke
Why can't the world be as I saw it?

I had a dream last night
It's not so unusual to dream at night
When the sun is gone and the only light
Comes from the place where your dreams lay
