Lyrics
HARLEM
Copyright by Debbie Darnell and Bob Boyle
Verse:
As I lay on the sand and watch all the waves roll in
I went to distant lands to find out why
When you're reaching out for a dream
It's just never quite what it seems
Pre-Chorus:
I was feeling some kind of emotion
I was taken by some sort of notion
Chorus:
I dreamed that I walked through Harlem
Verse:
In a nuclear age where technology is king
Can the powers that be let freedom ring
When you're reaching out for a dream
It's just never quite what it seems
Chorus:
I dreamed I walked through Harlem
and saw what I once missed
I dreamed I walked through Harlem,
ooh, and no one noticed
The day I walked through Harlem they let Mandela go
I dreamed I walked through Harlem alone
Pre-Chorus:
I was feeling some kind of emotion
I was taken by some sort of notion
Chorus:
I dreamed I walked through Harlem
and saw what I once missed
I dreamed I walked through Harlem,
ooh, and no one noticed
The day I walked through Harlem they let Mandela go
I dreamed I walked through Harlem alone
Bridge:
The day I walked through Harlem they let Mandela go
I dreamed I walked through Harlem alone
Chorus:
I dreamed I walked through Harlem,
I dreamed I walked through Harlem
The day I walked through Harlem,
I dreamed I walked through Harlem
I dreamed I walked through Harlem,
I dreamed I walked through Harlem
I dreamed I walked through Harlem,
I dreamed I walked through Harlem
