Dreamer

[Intro - John Lennon]

"Every country's had a violent revolution for one reason or the other, not one of them has the freedom we're all talking about. So we're saying 'give peace a chance', you know, like nobody's ever done it before. And it's not a matter of... we're not thinking in terms of ten years, we're thinking in terms of peace forever."

[Verse 1 - Jack Rootes]

Close your eyes, imagine our youth playing peacefully

Getting along with one another in their community

No fights, no feuds, no issues and no trouble

Not even a place which those things can bubble

Where a child can grow up to be a lawyer or doctor

Or even an eye in the sky in a news helicopter

As opposed to growing up with very little care

Risking being killed for the colours that they wear

Where the only gunfights they're in is make believe

And where Capture The Flag's the only time they're thieves

Where their family has enough money to pay the monthly rent

And it doesn't matter whether they're the 1 or the 99 percent

Where kids don't see poverty or homelessness on their streets

Where any problems they do have get solved in a heartbeat

Now open your eyes, how do those images make you feel?

Now ask yourself one question: Why can't they all become real?

[Hook - John Lennon]

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one

[Verse 2 - Jack Rootes]

Now

Close your eyes for a second time like you're blocking sunlight

And imagine a family from Mexico wanting a new life

So they move to the United States, the land of the free

Or at least that's what The Star-Spangled Banner claims to be

And they managed to settle down in a new home with ease

And their children feel so fresh like a spray of Febreeze

Where they go to school with no sense of cornucopia

And live their lives with flying colours in this utopia

Where the Statue of Liberty actually means an icon of freedom

Where Beaverhead-Deelodge is a modern Garden of Eden

Where religions are preached and accepted by one and all

Where Donald Trump cancelled his plans to build his wall

Where the borders are beautiful to look at every day

Where the Phelps Family don't protest you for being gay

Now open your eyes and see that doesn't have to stay a dream

Just hope one day, those things become a reality

[Hook - John Lennon]

[Verse 3 - Jack Rootes]

For this third verse, close your eyes for the last time

And picture a man in a city that has no poverty or crime

And he can practice his religion without any conflict

Where his race and religion doesn't class him as a convict

Everyday, his prayers give him massive waves of relief

Because he knows he won't die for all the things he believes

Whilst the life he lives gives him nothing but pleasent twists

Since in this timeline, al-Qaeda & ISIS don't exist

Imagine a world where there's no such thing as war

Only a home for people to love, care and adore

Imagine a world where the Twin Towers never fell down

Imagine America & China put their superpowered feud underground

Imagine a world where our peaceful ways go so far

Imagine a world where you are accepted for who you are

Our dreams alone won't bring the planet out of the dark

But I know those dreams are a damn good place to start

So just imagine....

[Bridge - John Lennon]

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

You...

[Hook - John Lennon]

[Outro - John Lennon]

"Everybody's talking about now, 'I want peace now'. We can get peace now if we want it now, and the left wing talk about giving, the power to the people. You know? Anybody knows that, the people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people. The people are unaware, it's like they're not educated to realise, that they have power..."
