[Verse 1]
We could build a house
We could build a wall
We could move a mountain
And we could watch it fall

[Verse 2]
Wouldn't it be different
If everyone could see
That everything is sacred
And everyone is free

[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream

[Verse 3]
And everyone is happy
Dancing in the streets
Laughing with each other
In total harmony

[Verse 4]
And no one's going hungry
When every cry is heard
We will know the meaning
Of heaven here on earth

[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, oh what a beautiful dream

[Post-Chorus]
Everybody's got somebody they need
As long as we're together
Oh, what a beautiful dream

[Verse 5]
Just a little love
Just a little peace
Every boy and girl
And every family

[Verse 6]
See the future coming
Leave the past behind
'Cause what you give away
Comes back in its own sweet time

[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream

[Post-Chorus]
Everybody's got somebody they need
As long as we're together
Oh, what a beautiful dream

[Chorus]
What a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream

[Post-Chorus]
Everybody's got somebody they need
As long as we're together
Oh, what a beautiful dream
