Peaceful Dream

I had a simple dream

My heart filled with hope

A little more and again than the past

And I may never know

What broke those chains

But if I don't pass it on

It won't last

Peaceful dream

Peaceful dream

Peaceful dream

Come and share my peaceful dream

Oh, I know I did complain

Even on sunny days

I know I moaned about

Some little things

But I kept my spirits up

And I set aside enough

Love to keep us dry

When it rains

Peaceful dream

Peaceful dream

Peaceful dream

Come and share my peaceful dream

Oh, I had a heavy mind

Now I feel okay

I have more than I need

To survive

I'll keep it here for you

So we could make it through

All of the darkest days

Of our lives

Peaceful dream

Peaceful dream

Peaceful dream

Come and share my peaceful dream

Oh, I'll keep it here for you

So we could make it through

All the darkest days

Of our lives

Peaceful dream

Peaceful dream

Peaceful dream

Come and share my peaceful dream
