FOR THE DREAM
Craig Andrew Browne
One day I’ll be singing with ten thousand of my friends
A wondrous sea of faces
Joined by common feelings
And holding fast to love and hope —
And all that these defend
And all that these defend.
Oh, one day I’ll be ringing, the nation’s wake up bell
And I’ve imagined all that this would mean
And I would give it all for the dream
Yeh, I would give it all for the dream
Yeh, I would give it all for the dream.
Now, some will think me simple
“Oh yeh, he’s a pollyanna fool”
But I’d rather polarise than not be seen
So I will give it all for the dream.
One day I’ll be singing with ten thousand of my friends
Asking you, to raise your hands
Make a change, if only tiny
For the barely breathing state of grace —
We must find again and save
We must find again and save
Oh come on raise your voices and set all the people free
Can you imagine all that this would mean?
Well, I would give it all for the dream
Yeh, I would give it all for the dream
I would give it all
This is my wake up call
I would give it all for the dream.
