Lyrics of I Dreamed A Dream by Roger Whittaker
I dreamed a dream the other night
I dreamed I saw a Hell
The countryside was beautiful
I heard a tolling bell
And God provided bowls of rice
And chopsticks 3 foot long
And everybody grabbed his bowl, his chopsticks and was gone
Each one sat down alone to eat
And found to his dismay
The rice could never touch his lips and so he′d fade away
Oh I mean, If I had wings to fly
I'd fly up to the highest place
And fold and fall and die
For now I know just what I am
And where I′ll be tomorrow
I have to live, within myself
To my eternal sorrow
I dreamed a dream another dream
I dreamed I saw a heaven
The countryside was beautiful
The choir numbered, seven
And God provided bowls of rice
And chopsticks 3 foot long
And everybody walked and sang,
Was healthy, fit and strong
I wondered how and why
They loved each sister and each brother
Until I saw them sit to eat
And each one fed the other
Oh I mean, If I had wings to fly
I'd fly up to the highest place
And fold and fall and die
For now I know just what I am
And where I'll be tomorrow
I haven′t fed my brother
To my eternal sorrow
Oh I mean, If I had wings to fly
I′d fly up to the highest place
And fold and fall and die
For now I know just what I am
And where I'll be tomorrow
I have to live, within myself
To my eternal sorrow
I have to live, within myself
To my eternal sorrow
