A Dream Worth Hearing

I dream of a tomorrow,
Full of mountains and giant trees,
And land stretching for miles,
And farms as big as seas.

I dream of a tomorrow,
With speeches never spoken,
With pounding drums and burning guns,
With a world to be unbroken.

I dream of a tomorrow,
With fresh air to keep us pounding,
Full of life and wonder for everyone,
To keep the earth well-rounded.

I dream of a tomorrow,
Where even deserts bear a bush,
Where no-one would be judged,
On how they speak, or how they look.
