I Had a Dream

I had a dream, I had a dream

I saw the mission band playing on the green

It was the saddest thing I have ever seen

What did it mean, what did it all mean?

And in my dream, in my same dream

I saw the soldiers marching on the green

The band played a funeral march

Many a tear was seen

All in my dream, all in my dream

I heard the lesson read, I heard the choir

I saw the falling leaves landing everywhere

I saw the family gathered, crying in despair

I was not there, I was not there
