Dreaming on a World Songtext
von Tracy Chapman

Know I may be wishing
On a world
That may never be
I keep on wishing

No matter
How hopeless
Or foolish
It may seem
I′ll keep on wishing

Toss my coin in the fountain
I'll look for clovers in grassy lawns
Search for shooting stars in the night
Cross my fingers and dream on

Know I may be dreaming
Of a world
Far from present day reality
I′ll keep on dreaming


No matter
How unrealistic
Or naive
It may seem
Always keep dreaming

Toss your coin in the fountain
Look for clovers in grassy lawns
Search for shooting stars in the night
Cross your fingers and dream on

You must always be thinking
Of a world
As a place of infinite posibilities
Always keep dreaming

No matter
How hopeless
Or foolish
It may seem
Always keep thinking

Toss our coins in the fountain
Look for clovers in grassy lawns
Search for shooting stars in the night
Cross our fingers and dream on

I'll keep on wishing


You must always keep dreaming
Of a world
With equality and justice
There will be a world
Without poverty and sickness
Wishing there will be a world
Without hunger and homelessness
Dreaming of a world
Where all people live in peace
Of a world
Dreaming
Of a world
