With the world and all its ways

Leaders and people misbehave

Somebody’s got to be in a daze

Somebody’s got to dream.

 

With the world and all its violence

Screaming, shouting, fighting the silence

Somebody’s got to provide guidance

Somebody’s got to dream.

 

With the world and its pride

Pretending, lying, trying to hide

Somebody’s got to go to the other side

Somebody’s got to dream.

 

With the world and its plans

Oppressing, distressing people and land

Somebody’s got to call on the Upper Hand

Somebody’s got to dream.

 

With the world and its deaths

 Killing until barely the soul is left

Somebody’s got to give the future breath

Somebody’s got to dream.
