Only A Dream

What a wonderful thing it could be
If you and I could get to see
Anything or anyone
Seriously or just for fun
Anywhere, immediately

The world would be a much better place
If we could learn to live with every race
We'd make friends with everyone
Black or white or underdone
Anywhere, immediately

But it's a dream, only a dream
Yes, it's a dream, only a dream
It's not for us to choose it
Other people might misuse it
It's a dream, only a dream

What a wonderful world it would be
We could all forget our differences and see
Life is short and so is fun
You can't cure that with a gun
Put it down, be love with me

But it's a dream, only a dream
Yes, it's a dream, only a dream
It's not for us to choose it
Other people might misuse it
It's a dream, only a dream

So it seems now we are doomed to die in hate
Find our solutions much too late
So perhaps it's for the best
That we can't see all the rest
All at once, all at the gate

But it's a dream, only a dream
Yes, it's a dream, only a dream
It's not for us to choose it
Other people might misuse it
It's a dream, only a dream

But it's a dream, only a dream
Yes, it's a dream, only a dream
It's not for us to choose it
Other people might misuse it
It's a dream, only a dream

Only a dream
Only a dream
Only a dream
