Verse I

Come walk with me on the banks of a river
We'll watch the stones, rolling so slow
Fish play hide and seek in the sunlight
Silver and green, yellow and gold

Chorus

And we'll dream of a time, when life feels easy
And the days go by, with a smile and a song
And children believe in a million tomorrows
And the East and the West embrace,
And the fear of war is gone

Verse II

Come and see a mother and baby
Souls at rest, together they sleep
A mother's breast, tender as heaven
In a moment of love, a portrait of peace

And we'll dream of a time .... (repeat chorus)

Verse III

Come and hear the music of lovers
Tasting joy in a space of their own
A soft embrace, a fountain of colors
Their sheltered hearts are safe and whole

And we'll dream of a time .... (repeat chorus)
