I Had The Most Peculiar Dream

I had the most peculiar dream last night

The whole wide world was bathed in light

And black men broke bread with white

In my peculiar dream.

I had the most peculiar dream last night

The whole wide world was bathed in light

And mankind no longer wished to fight

In my peculiar dream.

I had the most peculiar dream last night

The whole wide world was bathed in light

And every human had every right

In my peculiar dream.

I had the most peculiar dream last night

The whole wide world was bathed in light

And every blind man regained his sight

In my peculiar dream.

I had the most peculiar dream last night

The whole wide world was bathed in light

And my heart was filled with tearful delight

In my peculiar dream.

I had the most peculiar dream last night

The whole wide world was bathed in light

At mankind’s future, so impossibly bright

In my peculiar dream
