Lyrics

I had this dream
In which I swam with dolphins
In open sea a transparent blue
(Maybe you dreamt it too)
And on the earth
The trees grew heavy with blossoms
The rainforests had not died
And the Amazon shined like an emerald
Somewhere, somehow, some way
We must hold back the dawn
While there's still time to try
Keep the faith, keep the dream alive
I had this dream
That we were all one family
Which war and famine could not undo
(Maybe you dreamt it too)
Our family name
Was either Kindness or Compassion
We recognized each other
And we recognized the light inside us
Listen, the cry for freedom
Echoes from Red Squeare to Soweto town
The barricades are broken now
The walls are tumbling down
Written by: Jimmy Haslip, Marc Russo, Michael Franks, Russell Ferrante
