shorty long - i had a dream lyrics

[verse 1]
well the night was dark and dreary
my old boy was tired and weary
as i listened to the tune of the raindrops
i could feel my pull, my listen
like a cloud that started driftin’
to a heavenly city, where the rainbow stops
then i heard a voice, the most glorious voice i ever heard
and i have no choice, i had to stay there and listen
to every word he has

[chorus]
then i had a dream
of folks walking side by side, blessed be the time
their arms were open wide, tears of joy cried
’cause all of god’s children who were following, free at last

[verse 2]
i fell deeply into a slumber
i saw friends i knew by the number
as a vision came clear in my head
there was no such thing as hunger
and crutches were needed no longer
i tossed and turned there in my bed
’til i saw a face, and in their heavenly face
i saw every pain felt by the human race, oh yes

[chorus]
i had a dream
that every stream was filled, every disease was cured
every heart was true, and every stair was sure
’cause all of god’s children who were following, free at last

[bridge]
and i could hear them singing
(glory glory, glory glory
glory glory, glory glory
hallelujah)
yes
i saw a face, and in their heavenly face
i saw all the pain felt by the human race, oh yes

[verse 3]
i had a dream
of folks walking hand and hand, grazing the promise land
not one hand knew a gun, and no furthermore was sung
no fear in any man, and no blood on any land
from the mountains of tennessee, to the sea of galilee
from the walls of duralee, to the son of tripoli
you know i could hear freedom call
it come from the china walls
to the martha’s loomer hall, freedom was in the air
freedom was anywhere, i had a dream
oh don’t you know, i heard a dream
oh don’t you know god, i heard a dream
oh you know, i heard a dream
