Was the fortune of soldiers to be always at war |
|
Sighting down the barrel at whatever comes? |
|
Till the fighters forgot what they're doing it for |
|
And the reason was lost in the sound of the drums |
|
Was the fortune of soldiers to be always alone |
|
Forgetting the faces of all their loved ones? |
|
Far from their daydreams, far from their homes |
|
Love songs were drowned in the sound of the drums |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
Don't you know by now the dream has come true? |
|
When they say that peace could never be |
|
That it's a fantasy they didn't know about you |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
When they say that peace could never be |
|
They weren't imagining what one dreamer can do |
|
It is the fortune of bankers and builders of arms |
|
To worship the profit however it comes |
|
Up in their towers, sheltered from harm |
|
Far from the smoke and the sound of the guns |
|
It is the fortune of dreamers to see what they see |
|
To live with the scorn till the miracle comes |
|
To teach us the music and show us the key |
|
And the chorus to silence the sound of the drums |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
When they say that peace could never be |
|
That it's a fantasy they didn't know about you |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
When they say that peace could never be |
|
They weren't imagining what one dreamer can do |
|
It is the fortune of children to have such a choice |
|
To grow up to be dreamers or builders of guns |
|
Born to be angels, born to rejoice |
|
Not to grow up to the sound of the drums |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
When they say that peace could never be |
|
That it's a fantasy they didn't know about you |
|
Don't you know the dream has come true? |
|
Don't you know by now the dream has come true? |
|
When they say that peace could never be |
|
That it's a fantasy |
