I closed my eyes
Drew back the curtain
To see for certain
What I thought I knew
Far, far away
Someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore my coat
With golden lining
Bright colors shining
Wonderful and new
And in the east
The dawn was breaking
The world was waking
Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden cloak flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too
The world and I
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
(Spoken)
And all of this happened
Because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbor
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden cloak flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too
The world and I
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
I closed my eyes
Drew back the curtain
To see for certain
What I thought I knew
Far, far away
Someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore my coat
With golden lining
Bright colors shining
Wonderful and new
And in the east
The dawn was breaking
The world was waking
Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden cloak flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too
The world and I
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
(Spoken)
And all of this happened
Because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter

And everyone to everyone's neighbor
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden cloak flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness

May I return
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too
The world and I
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
