Dream For Us This Day

"I wish that there would be as many different people in the world as possible, and that each would be careful to preserve his own way." --Henry David Thoreau

 

I walk livin' out this life through each new day

Maxed out on overdrive much to my dismay

Seeking meaning and my purpose here is for what I pray

Struggling to find my voice

Preserve my way, preserve my own way

 

chorus

Well "all for one" and "to each his own" is what I'm tryin' to say

Six billion voices in harmony is my dream for us this day

My dream for us, dream for us this day

 

Pushin' the edge of the envelope is chic and in

But it's hard to see where one freedom ends and the next one begins

Still, it's the duty of each on of us to find the voice his own

March to the drum that beats within, to go alone, I go alone

chorus

Listen to conscience for the health of earth

For the health of mankind

Take care for the years to come

And peace you will find, peace we will find

chorus
