What Would You Do In Heaven?

I Dream of a Better World

I dream of a place where I can be understood,

such a place where finally,

I can be myself.

I dream of a place

where people need not be told anymore

what to do,

because they already know it,

because finally,

they’re already guided by their hearts.

I dream of a place

where people can be brothers,

where people can be friends,

where people can be people

and remain to be a people of the sun.

I dream of a place

where I can paint the world

and sing to it my songs;

where I can dance

when I’m filled with joy;

and where I can cry

when I can no longer hold back

my soul.

I dream of a place,

where we all can dream,

and make those dreams come true;

where clouds are as soft

as cotton candies,

and where stars are fireflies

that roam the night;

where children

laugh

and play

and run;

where wings can fly us

’round that magic sky.

Where we don’t have to worry

and where don’t have to wait

for a brighter tomorrow

and a happier today.

Where we can all walk down life’s road

in one direction,

walking hand in hand,

and side by side.

I dream of a place

no further than a step,

of a world

no further than a kiss.

For this world is all we need to have

if we could just

forget,

forgive,

and believe.
