Dear Dreamer
She was born on a dusty island
Grew up just to get out
Used to rub her pearly whites
With ashes from the night fire
Her shirts were loose
Her shoes were tight
She grew up just to get out
Oh, she grew up just to get out
Worked the day
Too sore to play
She traded in her childhood
Across the planet earth she flew
Her husband and her daughters too
Way before the sun
Dried up all the dew
She left the only place she knew
She left the only place she knew
Oh, it's happening
We're finally on an upswing
This new land is promising
A better life is coming
They say we all stand together
Now they tell us to take cover
And their hatred makes you wonder
Keep on dreaming my dear dreamer
Tell me where you come from, brother
Stand up proud and brown, my sister
Keep on dreaming my dear dreamer
Keep on dreaming my dear dreamer
Oh, it's happening
Hold my hand and sing with me
The pendulum is swinging
And history's repeating
Who stays?
Who must go?
Who is fighting?
Who is writing these wrongs?
We are watching
We are strong
Who stays?
Grew up just to get out
Used to rub her pearly whites
With ashes from the night fire
Her shirts were loose
Her shoes were tight
She grew up just to get out
Oh, she grew up just to get out
Worked the day
Too sore to play
She traded in her childhood
Across the planet earth she flew
Her husband and her daughters too
Way before the sun
Dried up all the dew
She left the only place she knew
She left the only place she knew
Oh, it's happening
We're finally on an upswing
This new land is promising
A better life is coming
They say we all stand together
Now they tell us to take cover
And their hatred makes you wonder
Keep on dreaming my dear dreamer
Tell me where you come from, brother
Stand up proud and brown, my sister
Keep on dreaming my dear dreamer
Keep on dreaming my dear dreamer
Oh, it's happening
Hold my hand and sing with me
The pendulum is swinging
And history's repeating
Who stays?
Who must go?
Who is fighting?
Who is writing these wrongs?
We are watching
We are strong
Who stays?
