Dream

I dreamt I saw John Lennon

alive live like you and me

he was driving down the freeway

in a yellow Limousine

with his suitcase right beside him

filled with brand new songs to sing

awe these are dreams that make me happy                         

these are things I long to dream

come on dream

I was drifting across the ocean

my boat moved on my dreams command

I saw the world’s hungry children

on the shores with out- stretched hands

in the skies there came this cloud of dove

dropping seed onto the sand

and from the seed they threw, the orchards grew                   

and fed the starving throughout the land                                                       

as I dream, come on and dream

you can dream, come on and dream                             

you can dream about those orchards full

for a million years to come, come on dream                   

come on dream

and I dreamt a dream of Martin Luther King           

in a train on golden track              

he had piled all the hatred of the earth            

in the freight cars on the back                     

with his great big engine filled with coal                          

and those smoke stacks billowed steam                 

right then I knew as the whistle blew                    

this was a very special dream                         

then he called up his army of angels       

to fly them hard into the sun                

in a blinding flash with all hatred smashed  

peace had finally come             

and I dream, come on dream                                                                             

let’s dream about this masterpiece painted perfect in the sky                

come on dream, come on dream           

let’s make a dream a dream come true         

of peace for you and I             

come on dream

And I dreamt I saw John Lennon
