Any Dream Will Do

(álbum: All Around The World - 1993)

I closed my eyes
Drew back the curtain
To see for certain
What I thought I knew
Far far away
Someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do

I wore my coat
With golden lining
Bright colours shining
Wonderful and new
And in the east
The dawn was breaking
The world was waking
Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden cloak flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too
The world and I
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do

And all of this happened
Because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden cloak flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too
The world and I
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
