The Strangest Dream

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I'd never dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

I dreamed I saw a mighty room,
An the room was filled with men.
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again.

And when the paper was all signed,
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads,
And grateful prayers were prayed.

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round,
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground.

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I'd never dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.


I am deeply touched by this song.
What a beautiful message delivered by a beautiful voice.
This melody has been sung by many artists,
but I think this one is the best.
The crowds gathered to protest the Vietnam war
inspire me a lot.
