lyrics
Dreaming of Peace
i see people on the corner holding their signs
people in the road forming a picket line
want the world to know they’re here
trying to make their message clear
i honk for peace and hear them cheer
watch them smile in my rearview mirror
keep on driving, just pass on by
i’ll honk again at the next sign
it’s hard to face reality, so i’ll just keep on dreaming
it’s plain to see, we don’t have the answers
but we think we know, and so it goes
it’s plain to see, we don’t have it together
but we think we know, so it goes on
students in the green arms intertwined
candles lit, swaying side to side
show the world that we’re aware
but we're not going anywhere
i can’t remember which petition i signed
but i sleep pretty well each night
knowing that i’ve done my share in showing everyone i care
it’s hard to face reality, so i’ll just keep on dreaming
it’s plain to see, we don’t have the answers
but we think we know, and so it goes
it’s plain to see, we don’t have it together
but we think we know, so it goes on
but while we’re standing in the streets
they’re fighting off disease
i’m in the comfort of my bed
not dealing with a shred
of this war between nations and this war against nature
it’s a battlefield that i’ve never seen
it’s plain to see, we don’t have the answers
but we think we know, and so it goes
it’s plain to see, we don’t have it together
but we think we know, so it goes on
and so it goes on
o must it go on
