the dream of a thousand years...

the dream of a thousand years,
the dream of a thousand lives,
the dream that’s older than you and i!!

the dream of Allah, the dream of Christ,
the dream of Krishna, of love and light!

the dream of Buddha, the dream in every heart,
the dream that saw this world to start!

the dream that’s been buried beneath all lies,
that dream still lies behind your eyes!

promises we made, we have to keep,
we need to fulfill the dream we’ve forgotten in our sleep!

it’s the dream of all the incarnations,
the dream that’s died between the nations!

it’s a ray of hope in a dark sky,
a smile across faces that cry!

the dream’s not yet lost.. it’s just slipped away,
we can see it through, if we work and pray!

the dream of the earth, the dream of this life…
Yes! It’s the dream of us all…
of you and i!!!
