WHAT WE DREAM
by Stephen Sedberry

Our world's not ready for justice;
She's an idea who's never found her time.
Our world's not ready for freedom,
we've gotten in the habit of cryin'.

CHORUS:
   So, everyday we need to dream a dream
   of the better world our better sight has seen
   'cause what we dream is destined to come true;
   the future's up to me and to you.

It's hard, oh, so hard to tow the line
'though somedays, for sure, we feel just fine;
but when the dark clouds bring us too much rain
we're back swimmin' 'round in our pain.

This old world's so big and so bold,
full of gentle folks  and  tortured souls;
Distractions come like fast movin' trains
to sweep us off the side track  again.

It's hard to love the ones who beat us down
with words or thoughts or guns or fists or sounds
but it's harder still to hate life to the core
when foolishness we could learn to ignore.
