I had a dream the other night
It felt like real life
And I saw everyone,
I saw everyone, living in houses by the streams
There were no gates
There were no fences
Everyone left their door unlocked
And all the people were on their own
But they didn't feel alone.
Because alone was not something known
No one was forgotten
Because alone was not something known
No one was a pest
Because alone was not something known
No one was afraid
Because alone was not something known
Nobody woke up in tears
I saw all of the animals
The horse laid with the antelopes
And I saw the peace of God
Ascending like a mist
Yeah the Lion next to the Lamb, oh my God.
Oh My God.
There were people bringing each other gifts
Not made out of guilt or paper or tricks
Just out love for one another.
And all the awkward moments faded just as they had come
The farmer went to plow his field
The work was already done
Children sang such beautiful songs
Not about all being alone,
Not singing fear,
But the rising up from the graves which they have come
