(Come on).
In a dream, broken hearts mended
right before my eyes,
healing all the pieces
of all the shattered lives.
As I wake, I find myself
in a cold reality.
I don't wanna stand here cryin'
'cause this ain't the way
it's supposed to be.
(How long) till we make this world better?
(Be strong). Make the dream last forever.
In a dream like this one,
I turned to say goodbye
to all the empty reason
of a man who lived a lie.
As I wake, I see the world
that others ought to see.
(I don't wanna stand here cryin').
I don't wanna stand here cryin'
'cause this ain't the way
it's supposed to be.
(How long) till we make this world better?
(Hold on). Make a dream last forever.
(How long) till we make this world better?
(Come on). Make the dream last forever.
(How long) till we make this world better?
(Be strong). Make the dream last forever.
In a dream like this one,
where cannons never sound,
and children don't know hunger and
every step's on hallowed ground.
As I wake, I find the world
a raging, stormy sea.
I lift my voice, cry out loud.
This ain't the way
it's supposed to be.
(How long) till we make this world better?
(Hold on). Make a dream last forever.
(How long) till we make this world better?
(Be strong). Make a dream last forever.
(How long) till we make this world better?
(Come on). Make the dream last forever.
