Half Asleep
I had a dream last night
That I came to rule the world
I had made all life abide
By the love philosophy
But I woke up too soon
To see how it had come to be
I woke up too soon
To see how it had come to be
Please don't you tell me
That it's just a dream
Because I woke up
The world was only half asleep
In this dream it came to pass
That people laid down arms at last
We spent our days building peace
And teaching children livity
Respect for their mothers
Respect for their sisters
Working with their fathers
Working with their brothers
Please don't you tell me
That it's just a dream
Because I woke up
The world was only half asleep
I believe in the way of peace
I believe in the way of peace
Please don't you tell me
That it's just a dream
Because I woke up
The world was only half asleep
That I came to rule the world
I had made all life abide
By the love philosophy
But I woke up too soon
To see how it had come to be
I woke up too soon
To see how it had come to be
Please don't you tell me
That it's just a dream
Because I woke up
The world was only half asleep
In this dream it came to pass
That people laid down arms at last
We spent our days building peace
And teaching children livity
Respect for their mothers
Respect for their sisters
Working with their fathers
Working with their brothers
Please don't you tell me
That it's just a dream
Because I woke up
The world was only half asleep
I believe in the way of peace
I believe in the way of peace
Please don't you tell me
That it's just a dream
Because I woke up
The world was only half asleep
