Once there was a man who had a dream Of a new world, no more empty words Just simple human feelings He lied awake at night and dreamed Of a new age fantasy Something to believe in Why? Won't somebody tell me why? Doesn't anybody take the time to try To see the greenest dream never die In the eyes of every child? Once there was a man who dreamt of hope In a fair world where everyone had rights Like each and every other He lied awake and dreamed of peace In a good world what could be No more than he could want But why? Won't somebody tell me why? Doesn't anybody take the time to try To see the greatest dream never die In the eyes of every child? Once there was a man who had a dream Of a new world, all the people free And every life had meaning Some may see the dreams Of a moon in a rainbow If we never take the time we'll dream We'll never find an answer Why? Won't somebody tell me why? Doesn't anybody take the time to try To see the greatest dream never die In the eyes of every child? Why? Won't somebody tell me why? Doesn't anybody take the time to try To see the greatest dream never die In the eyes of every child? Once there was a man who had a dream Of a new world, thank God some people take the time to dream *
