I closed my eyes again And I fought this traffic jam And I tried to slow this engine down But just like all last night I felt injustice bite One body one chance one country at a time And no rewind button I dreamed of things I'm yet to be And of angel wings that carried me From suffering and agony to eternity
I dreamed that you were next to me And all your scars refused to bleed I dreamed that love and peace had power Over fear and bitterness
I dreamed I saw a million angels Coming forth to rescue me Singing welcome home my faithful servant Tantalizing images I dream
The sky was like an angry bruise That wouldn't let the sunlight loose And bring us healing and take the swelling down And these were years of insurrection Of condemnation and disconnection Refusing to believe you'd paid the tab for me Unhappiness is here defined To know the truth but to stay behind And to burn your invitation to the promised land
I dreamed the dove of peace was chosen Over fear and weaponry I dreamed someone could raise a family Never fearing tragedy
I dreamed I saw a million angels Intercepting evil schemes Of love and comfort never ending Everlasting images I dream I dreamed I saw a million angels Breaking through the clouds of grey The sweetest sounds of hallelujah Came and stole these blues away I dreamed I saw a million angels Coming forth to rescue me Singing welcome home my faithful servant Singing words I long to hear I dreamed I saw a million angels Intercepting evil schemes Love and comfort never ending Everlasting images I dream
