I had a simple dream
My heart filled with hope
A little more and again than the past
And I may never know
What broke those chains
But if I don't pass it on
It won't last
Peaceful dream
Peaceful dream
Peaceful dream
Come and share my peaceful dream
Oh, I know I did complain
Even on sunny days
I know I moaned about
Some little things
But I kept my spirits up
And I set aside enough
Love to keep us dry
When it rains
Peaceful dream
Peaceful dream
Peaceful dream
Come and share my peaceful dream
Oh, I had a heavy mind
Now I feel okay
I have more than I need
To survive
I'll keep it here for you
So we could make it through
All of the darkest days
Of our lives
Peaceful dream
Peaceful dream
Peaceful dream
Come and share my peaceful dream
Oh, I'll keep it here for you
So we could make it through
All the darkest days
Of our lives
Peaceful dream
Peaceful dream
Peaceful dream
Come and share my peaceful dream
