Dreamers

Dreamers What can you see in the New World to come The things that you dream of when you rest in the sun You lay in your bed with the thoughts so clear The things coming true will give reason to cheer Is it animals and birds or fish in the sea Or the loved one from the grave that’s finally free Is it houses and farms and land you can plant Or the ethics you’ll learn from the hard-working any Is it peace on the earth that comes to your mind Is it Ears to the deaf and sight to the blind That sickness is gone and death is no more When races can equally walk through each door Oh, the friendships we’ll have as we meet a great crowd The stories will hear from survivors so proud And the Christians of old that will see things so strange We might be the one who can help them to change We have to be dreamers since the world is a mess We are struggling in ways that bring us all stress So what brings you joy as you look just ahead Those are the things that your heart should be fed
