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
