I Had A Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tried so hard to explain
The way things are and how quick they can change
But you never listened you just turned your head
Never even heard a single word that he said
While it's true now that I'm not a saint
I felt pain when you live to hate
Said it before and I'll say it again
Leave me alone man or treat me like a friend
I had a dream last night
Everybody's laughing and everything was alright
Still some hope in sight, that was last night
I had a dream last night
Nobody's crying, nobody's frightened
Still some hope in sight, that was last night
Well if it seems like I sound like the rest
We're trying hard not to be too depressed
Once they take everything I've left, it's so easy
So if you're dreaming I hhope that you do
Wish for the best and hope that it comes true
Who knows what they'll leave when they're through
I had a dream last night
Everybody's laughing and everything was alright
Still some hope in sight, that was last night
I had a dream last night
Nobody's crying, nobody's frightened
Still some hope in sight, that was last night
