| Show 1 I Dreamed I 1 Dreamed A Dream o. o By Robert B. B Barron Barren Neil Diamond recently recorded a song entitled I HI I Dreamed a aDream aDream aDream Dream from a new Broadway play The song tells the a time gone by a time of kind girls and love The first time I heard this song I Iwas Iwas Iwas was just waking from a deep sleep You know one of those nights that you sleep eight hours in only 30 seconds As I slowly awoke this song was on the radio and in the semi-asleep semi state I dreamed that I dreamed a dream I know that sounds strange yet my mind was giving play by play action in tune with the words of the song I dreamed of a time when hope was high and life worth living It was a time when love would never die I Iwas Iwas Iwas was young and unafraid and God was forgiving As I heard these words for the very first time I knew that the world was finally at peace I saw children all races all colors and andall andall andall all ages dancing in the streets I saw that there was no rich and no poor I saw doors without locks and locks without keys The world was full of peace friendship and love The words in the song change from the hope of how the world could be to a love affair that the writer never had and at that point I came to my senses When the song was over I heard on the morning news that one more life had been lost I realize that the writer intended the tune to be a love song even evenso evenso evenso so every time I think of the song I find myself dreaming day-dreaming of a time gone by when my hopes were high and the world was at peace or so it seemed I will long remember that morning morning morning morn morn- ing I dreamed a dream of the most wonderful things A world without war violence and hate A world full of peace goodness and love I dreamed a dream |
