Lyrics
Believers and Dreamers
Words and Music by
Romeo C. Bacharo, Jr.
I.
We're searching for that something
Yet to be defined
A vision for the world
A dream for all mankind
We may differ in so many ways
In our thoughts, in the words of our tongues
But our hearts could speak
In one voice for everyone
II.
But we believe in something
Greater than ourselves
The sacredness of life in this universe
And behold in "your being so free"
That led many to have sailed astray
Well, for us we've found a place
We all want to be...
Chorus:
Where believers and dreamers
Converge to touch the ground
And dare to "take the road less traveled by"*
Where gracious hearts and caring minds
Share the dreams to be fulfilled
A peaceful world
Just and humane
We strive to make it real....
III. Yes, we believe in something
Greater than ourselves
The sacred freedoms and the rights of the human race
But (we) behold in "our being so free"
We've found the limit to the deepest sea
Where the endless void deep down
Has led us all to touch the ground....
Ad Lib
We are believers and dreamers
Who converge to touch the ground
And dare to "take the road less traveled by"*
With gracious hearts and caring minds
We share the dreams to be fulfilled
A peaceful world
Just and humane
We strive to make it real....
We are believers and dreamers
Who converge to touch the ground
And dare to "take the road less traveled by"*
With gracious hearts and caring minds
We share the dreams to be fulfilled
A peaceful world
Just and humane
We strive to make it real....
A peaceful world
Just and humane
We strive to make it real....
