Lyrics

[00:35.21] I had this dream
[00:39.27] In which I swam with dolphins
[00:44.39] In open sea a transparent blue
[00:49.15] （Maybe you dreamt it too）
[00:51.33] And on the earth
[00:55.40] The trees grew heavy with blossoms
[00:59.45] The rainforests had not died
[01:02.33] And the Amazon shined like an emerald
[01:07.83] Somewhere, somehow, some way
[01:13.51] We must hold back the dawn
[01:16.02] While there's still time to try
[01:20.52] Keep the faith, keep the dream alive
[01:26.77]
[01:27.89] I had this dream
[01:32.09] That we were all one family
[01:37.14] Which war and famine could not undo
[01:41.96] （Maybe you dreamt it too）
[01:44.14] Our family name
[01:48.27] Was either Kindness or Compassion
[01:51.84] We recognized each other
[01:55.15] And we recognized the light inside us
[02:00.65] Somewhere, somehow, some way
[02:06.34] We must hold back the dawn
[02:08.77] While there's still time to try
[02:13.34] Keep the faith, keep the dream alive
[02:16.83] Somewhere, somehow, some way
[02:22.34] We must hold back the dawn
[02:25.09] While there's still time to try
[02:29.65] Keep the faith, keep the dream alive
[02:34.46]
[02:36.46] Listen, the cry for freedom
[02:40.34] Echoes from Red Square to Soweto town
[02:44.46] The barricades are broken now
[02:50.09] The walls are tumbling down
[02:53.89]
[03:28.02] Somewhere, somehow, some way
[03:33.15] We must hold back the dawn
[03:36.15] While there's still time to try
[03:40.65] Keep the faith, keep the dream alive
[03:44.28] Somewhere, somehow, some way
[03:49.34] We must hold back the dawn
[03:52.34] While there's still time to try
[03:56.90] Keep the faith, keep the dream alive
[04:04.59]
[04:22.34] I woke up to find it was just a dream
[04:29.84]
[04:30.53] Why must it only be just a dream?
[04:34.59]
[04:38.27] I woke up to find it was just a dream
[04:42.09]
[04:46.59] Why must it only be just a dream?
[04:54.47] I woke up to find it was just a dream
[04:57.59]
[04:58.09] Why must it only be just a dream?
