Dream of Peace

This isn't really a Christmas song, but it's one, that especially at this time of year with all of the references to peace, and love, and good will to man, that brings about the spirit of Christmas and about loving all people, no matter what your differences may be. This song makes me want to be a better person, in hopes that if we all do our part, we can make this world a better place for all. Enjoy!

When I was young I used to wish for many things
All the things that children wish for in their dreams
Every night before I lay me down to sleep
I’d dream of all the things that tomorrow would bring
but now i’m older and i have children of my own to protect
and everywhere i look all i see is the hate and conflict
if i could have back all the wishes of my youth
i would wish for one thing only

I dream of peace
i dream of love
i dream that everyonewould throw down their guns

i imagine theres a future where all of us live
in a world of peace where people have more love to give
its a place where hate can never, never survive
its a place where war is always, always a crime
cuz i beleive theres a goodness in each one of us
if we could find the language to help us to trust
then we could grow the seeds with all, all that we need
we could find a better way

I dream of peace
i dream of love
i dream that everyonewould throw down their guns

oohhhh…i beleive that we can
make a difference this time
i beleive that we can
change the future one by one
i beleive that we can try…...

When I was young I used to wish for many things
All the things that children wish for in their dreams
now i’m older and i see things through my sons eyes
all the innosence and hope

I dream of peace
i dream of love
i dream that everyone
would throw down their guns

i dream of peace…for you
i dream of love …for everyone
i dream of peace
i dream of love
i dream of peace…
