Lyrics
Deep in my heart, I have a dream,
I have a dream of wonder,
I see the earth, giving birth,
To a government no one is under,
Where all, even the small, have a voice,
That is always protected,
Where we, keep even the weak,
Safe as they sleep,
It's such a long way to heaven,
And this world is filled with hurt,
Rather than waiting forever,
Let's make heaven here on earth,
Deep in my heart I hear a song,
Sung by a billion voices,
Millions of keys, in harmony,
Children alive with choices,
They know wherever they go,
They will be loved,
They will be viewed as the future,
They cross all borders in peace,
And never have need,
It's such a long way to heaven,
And this world is filled with hurt,
Rather than waiting forever,
Let's make heaven here on earth.
(repeat first verse and chorus)
