    Lyrics
    3. Hard to Dream

    There once was a man who had a dream
    That everybody one day would be free
    That they would live no matter what race
    Amongst each other equally
    He got up to speak and it rang so true
    But did they listen to what he said?
    His dream exacted a heavy price
    One shot of steel and he lay dead

    'Cause it's hard to dream
    Yeah, it's hard to dream'
    It's hard to dream, though dreaming is for free
    Yeah, it's hard to dream
    Yeah, it's hard to dream
    It's hard to dream, to dream but not to see

    She was a poor girl from a simple village
    Intelligent, wanted toget on
    Man came from a town nearby and said
    Would you liken to work in a restaurant?
    Her parents were keen, she could send back her pay
    But when she reached her destiny
    Found she was tied to a life of shame
    Comforting men without a name

    'Cause it's hard to dream...etc

    Don't talk to me about change and hope
    I got the answer, I got the dope
    I live my life in a quiet sort of way
    I keep my head down, got nothing to say
    Just make my money and build my bricks
    Aint got no time for politics
    Throw your ideals or you'll end up in chains
    What do you get for it all? - sore brains!

    'Cause it's hard to dream...etc
