I have a dream
I have a dream
When they stop bombing
No more shelling
To rush outside
And up a tall tree
To tie a string
Make a swing
Fly up so high
And touch the blue sky
Leave my tears up there
To come down as rain…
I have a dream
When tanks leave the camp
No BING … BONG … BANG
To run out and see
The deep huge sea
To swim towards his heart
Jumping up and down
Wishshsh … washshsh
Splish … Splash
Wash all my fears away
I have a dream
When soldiers leave my town
And the camp walls fall down
To go outside
And sitting on the sand
Write a sad story
With my own hand
Then wait for the tide
To wash my pain away
I have a dream
When they lift the curfew
To skip outside
Holding in my hand
The string of my kite
Racing with the wind
Fly it up so high
Tying to its tail
All my nightmares
And with the fluffy clouds
Rinse them all away
I have a dream
When we free our land
To open all the doors
Invite the rainbow in
Holding on his hand
To dance with my heart
Going round and round
Twirling like a derwish
Gathering love and joy
In my right palm
And down the other hand
To every needy child
Give it all away!
