Still The Same Dream Thirty Years Later
Very Much Alive And Well
Think of a dream
What is it that makes it so important ?
Is it the desire to have something that would make you feel good ?
Maybe it is the wish that you can help so many other people that you normally couldn't ?
To me it is the passion and drive for both
As I close my eyes I see the same reaccuring dream taking form
It is one of mental delight
That sends my thoughts into overdrive
One that is honest and peaceful
A special kind of good will to all mankind
That fights for what is right
Working long hours into the night
There is a chance no matter how slight
That goes against all odds
It comes to light every morning
Then it leaves when the day is done
Resting in every mind that loves to think
Quietly when they sleep
It Is quite simple and ordinary
When carried out it will be extraordinary
Where people from all walks of life can come together
Working towards one common goal
No matter what religion
Working with friendship
Not shaking fists of fury
Deciding on a better, bigger and brighter future
Not just for our generation
But for many generations to come
Where people learn to love again
Working hard to achieve their own individual goals
Helping many people day to day
Keeping reality at bay
Making miracles daily
Is no longer a distant thought
Soon expected from the day we were born and every day that follows
Learning is no longer a chore to struggle through
It is a muscle that craves to be developed
Seeking out every opportunity to shine
To show the world this is only the beginning
We have always had what it takes
We were just gong about it the hard way
Thinking that was the only way
If we would just listen to the mind of reason
Giving in to all our good intentions and wonderful thoughts
Learning from our mistakes
Looking at each new baby that is born
That is our inspiration
To a life that serves all
Pulling together instead of pulling apart
Changing the way we think
Helping to pick up the pieces without blame
A long slow road that gets us safely to where we want to be
In a world of sweet harmony
That is the place where I go
Every second of my life
That is my dream
I will dream my entire life
