[Verse 1]
Well I dreamed I saw the knight in armor coming
Saying something about a king
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree

[Verse 2]
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run
In the twenty-first century
Look at mother nature on the run
In the twenty-first century

[Verse 3]
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky

[Verse 4]
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie

[Verse 5]
Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There was laughing, crying and colors flying
All around the chosen one

[Verse 6]
All in a dream, all in a dream, the loading had begun
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
They were flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
