DREAMING
(Fil Campbell ©)
I saw the devil, he was running after me
Past the silent madonna, who was happy just to be there
In the room that was falling all around her with the thunder
That was coming from the floor and not the sky like it should be
And when I looked around the door I'd just come running through was gone
And I awoke to find myself in the middle of this song,
I'd been dreaming.
Then I saw the women from the Eastern world coming walking
Cross the desert from their homeland in the search for something better
And my answers to their questions didn't measure to their strength
And someone murdered someone and the money'd all been spent
And the cause they'd all been working for got swallowed in the greed
And I thought about these women and their struggle to be free
While I'd been dreaming.
Only dreaming, I'd been dreaming
Dreaming, only dreaming
And I thought about these women and their struggle to be free
While I'd been dreaming.
Then I saw a building with three women in the scene
One threw a bomb and the second one she screamed
As she pulled through the broken body of her child from the chaos
To the third dressed in green in the uniform of order
And as I calmly watched I suddenly could see
That they all looked the same and they all looked like me
But I'd been dreaming
Only dreaming, I'd been dreaming
Dreaming, only dreaming
And as I calmly watched I suddenly could see
That they all looked the same and they all looked like me
But I'd been dreaming
Well do you wonder what it means?
All these pictures in my dreams
All the yearning and the fears
And all the terror and the screams
Well I can still feel the devil round the corner of my memory
And he's waiting for a woman who won't stand up and be counted
And I'm sure there's others like me
Afraid to have their say
Simply sitting back and hoping that it all will be ok
But that's just dreaming.
We're just dreaming, only dreaming
Dreaming, only dreaming
And I'm sure there's others like me
Afraid to have their say
Simply sitting back and hoping that it all will be ok
But that's just dreaming.
