[Chorus]
We have a dream
We dream of having fought for more than painted fences
We have a dream
A dream where all the lines were drawn in the past tense
We have a dream
We dream of having fought for more than painted fences
We have a dream
A dream where all the lines were drawn in the past tense
[Verse 1]
I look around this enormous city
Once upon a time on fire at war
Looking at it from the white in your eye you don't realise it still is raging on
People in a hurry, race right by me
Too fast to really understand
Too far [?] the [?] are playing blackjack
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, what do I look like?
Does it matter what I look like?
We know where to stake our worries deep
We sit on wait while we should sleep and
[Chorus]
We have a dream
We dream of having fought for more than painted fences
We have a dream
A dream where all the lines were drawn in the past tense
I know it seems
It seems that dream has never been so far away now
Still, we keep on dreaming
A dream where all the lines were drawn in the past tense
[Verse 2]
The kumbaya's are getting shot to pieces
And I have never had to overcome
Pretty baby had a painful wake-up
But in a bed, not in the bad cover band
I'm not whatever happened to me
I am what I choose to become
You've got a choice, you've got a bright future, but you ain't got a clue what's going on
[Pre-Chorus]
What is the difference?
What if there wasn't any difference?
[?], we sow are seeds, we all get cut and we all bleed
I ask you, "What do I look like?
Does it matter what I look like?"
You don't know the stakes, you've been asleep
You've never ever been cut deep
[Chorus]
We have a dream
We dream of having fought for more than painted fences
We have a dream
A dream where all the lines were drawn in the past tense
I know it seems
It seems that dream has never been so far away now
Still, we keep on dreaming
A dream where all the lines were drawn in the past tense
We have a dream
We dream of having fought for more than painted fences
We have a dream
A dream where all the lines were drawn in the past tense
I know it seems
It seems that dream has never been so far away now
Still, we keep on dreaming
A dream where all the lines were drawn in the past tense
“We Have a Dream”. Med den låta der så ville jeg uttrykke at midt i alt vi står i av fortidsurettferdighet som vi må prøve å fikse opp i, så må vi også huske å se på hvilket samfunn vi har lyst til å lage.
