I dreamed I walked in heaven just the other night
There was so much beauty so much light
Don't you wish it was true
Don't you wish it was true
An angel took my hand
Said you don't have to hurry
Got all the time in the world don't worry
Don't you wish it was true
Lord, don't you wish it was true?
But if tomorrow everybody was your friend
Anyone could take you in
No matter what or where you'd been
But if tomorrow everybody had enough
The world wasn't quite so rough
Lord, don't you wish it was true?
He said the worlds gonna change and it's startin' today
There'll be no more armies no more hate
Don't you wish it was true
Now don't you wish it was true?
And all the little children would live happily
Ther'd be singin' and laughter and sweet harmony
Don't you wish it was true
Lord, don't you wish it was true?
But if tomorrow everybody under the sun
Who's happy just to live as one
No borders or battles to be won
But if tomoorow everybody was your friend
Happiness would never end
Lord, Don't you wish it was true?
Alright!
But if tomorrow everybody under the sun
Who's happy just to live as one
No borders or battles to be won
But if tomorrow everybody was your friend
Happiness would never end
Lord, don't you wish it was true?
Lord, don't you wish it was true?
Alright!
Oooooo-a!
What a beautifyl day!
