Testo I Had A Dream - Shorty Long

Testo della canzone I Had A Dream (Shorty Long), tratta dall'album Essential Collection

Ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Well, the night was dark and dreary

My whole body was tired and weary

As I listened to the tune of the raindrops

I could feel my poor mind liftin'

Like a cloud, I started driftin' to a

Heavenly city, where the rainbow stops

Then I heard a voice

The most glorious voice I ever heard

And I had no choice

I had to stay there and listen to every word

Oh, yes

And I had a dream of folks walkin' side by side

Blessed be the time

Their arms were open wide

Tears of joy, they cried

'Cause all of God's children were finally free at last

I fell deeper into a slumber

I saw friends I knew by the number

As the vision came clear in my head

There was no such thing as hunger

And crutches were needed no longer

I tossed and turned there in my bed

'Til I saw a face

And in that heavenly face, I saw every pain felt by the human race

Oh, yes

I had a dream that every stream was still

Every disease cured

Every heart was true

And every step was sure

'Cause all of God's children were finally free at last

And I could hear them singing

Glory, glory

Glory, glory

Glory, glory

Glory, glory

Hallelujah

Yes

I saw a face

And in that heavenly face, I saw all the pain felt by the human race

Oh, yes

I had a dream of folks walkin' hand in hand

Praising the promised land

Not one hand knew a gun

And no mother mourns her son

No fear in any man

And no blood on any land

From the mountains of Tennessee to the sea of Galilee

From the walls of Germany to the shores of Tripoli

You know I could hear freedom call

Echo from the China walls to the mountains lower halls

Freedom was in the air

Freedom was everywhere

I had a dream

Oh, don't you know that I had a dream?

Oh, I know I, I had a dream

Oh, can't you see?

Ah
