Story Behind the Song
Something was missing from "Only a Dream." This version fills in the holes in a gnarly way!! The song is about world peace and people of different races learning to coexist in this global village we call "Earth" -- a song of hope for a new millennium!
Lyrics
Only a Dream
Music and Lyrics Copyright 1999, Ben Garen
Verse 1
I see them off in the distance tonight,
Their gaze is haunting; their eyes are bright,
I see them there, calling me.
I try to reach them but I cant move my feet,
Theres something heavy, clinging to me,
I try to run, but its all in vain...
Nowhere to go, I cant run away,
Voices cry out, they are calling my name,
Calling out to me.
What could they want? Am I going insane?
No, nothing phases me...I realize, I see...
Its only a dream...
Verse 2
I smell the stench, the rot and decay,
See bodies lying in disarray.
I see them there, calling me.
What are they saying, who could they be,
Why is this all happening to me?
What have I done, to deserve this fate?
Devils and Demons come out in the night,
Burning and slashing everything in sight,
Theyre chasing after me.
Now I am flying so high above,
Flying so high on the wings of a dove,
Im free...Now I truly see,
Its only a dream...
Guitar Interlude
Verse 3
Im looking down from high up above,
Millions of people with nothing but love
For their fellow man, their fellow man.
No more fighting, no more war,
All the people living together in perfect peace,
A perfect plan.
Nothing to argue, no room to hate,
No real reason to segregate
One man from another.
All these visions beckoning me,
Always so I feel.
Is it so unreal?
Is it only a dream?
Only a Dream?
