Caught By A Dream

I was caught by a dream when I fell asleep

I was falling or sinking into something deep

Voices surrounded the lost black sheep

The following words are the thoughts I could keep

 

I’m much too old to live

I’m much too young to forgive

I’m much too old to lie

I’m much too young to die

 

This world full of conflicts that don’t make sense

No one learns from the past in this awful present tense

Wake up! – This planet is doomed, but hey, no offence

Business as usual in the next conference

 

Come gather around people – stand up for your need

For climate justice and freedom – against all the greed

This earth provides enough for all to feed

Love is a flower and humans its seed

 

War is where death lives

Love is what the sun gives

War is where death lives

Love is what the sun gives

 

Absorb it to evoke something that’s worth

Esteem thy fellows and spread peace on this earth

Absorb it to evoke something that’s, something that’s worth

 

Absorb it to evoke something that’s worth

Esteem thy fellows and spread peace on this earth

Absorb it to evoke something that’s, something that’s worth

 

Build places for gatherings, shelter and retreat

Create spaces for thinking, discussing and to read

Celebrate this system’s final defeat

Free your minds, make love and respect the one you meet

 

I once called it home – the thing that I miss

Liars have told me steadily: “Ignorance is bliss”

I shout: “Ignorant persons make war and they dis

Persons like you with phrases like this”

 

“Knowledge is power” use it for our bliss

Behave wisely and avoid acting amiss

The sun wakes me up with a warm mellow, warm mellow kiss

 

The sun wakes me up with a warm mellow kiss

I can’t wait to come home – wherever that is

I can’t wait to come home – wherever, wherever that is

 

I can’t wait to come home – whatever that is

While the sun wakes me up with a warm mellow kiss

I can’t wait to come home – whatever, whatever that is

 

I can’t wait to come home – whoever that is

While the sun wakes me up with a warm mellow kiss

I can’t wait to come home – whoever, whoever that is

 

I can’t wait to come home – wherever that is

While the sun wakes me up with a warm mellow kiss

I can’t wait to come home – wherever, wherever that is
