Verse:
C majorC           A minorAm
I saw my brother in a stranger'??s face
 FF           G+G
I saw my sister in a smile
 C majorC           A minorAm
My mother'??s laughter in a far off place
 FF          G+G
My father's footsteps in each mile
 A minorAm          E minorEm
I thought I knew who my neighbor was
 FF          G+G
We didn'??t need to be redeemed
 C majorC            A minorAm
Oh, what could I have been thinking of?
FF     G+G       C majorC
Was it all some kind of dream?

Verse:
C majorC            A minorAm
I saw my country in the hungry eyes
FF        G+G
Of a million refugees
 C majorC            A minorAm
Between the rocks and the rising tide
 FF             G+G
As they were tossed across the sea
 A minorAm            E minorEm
There was a time when we were them
 FF           G+G
Just as now they all are we
 C majorC               A minorAm
Was there an hour when we took them in?
FF     G+G       C majorC
Or was it all some kind of dream?

Verse:
 C majorC             A minorAm
I saw the children in the holding pens
 FF            G+G
I saw the families ripped apart
 C majorC           A minorAm
And though I try I cannot begin
 FF            G+G
To know what it did inside their hearts
 A minorAm              E minorEm
There was a time when we held them close
 FF              G+G
And weren'??t so cruel, low, and mean
 C majorC               A minorAm
And we did good unto the least of those
 FF     G+G       C majorC
Or was it all some kind of dream?

Verse:
C majorC             A minorAm
I saw justice with a tattered hem
FF            G+G
I saw compassion on the run
C majorC             A minorAm
But I saw dignity in spite of them
 FF              G+G
I prayed its day would finally come
 A minorAm             E minorEm
There was a time when we chose our sides
 FF             G+G
And we refused to live between
 C majorC              A minorAm
We rose to fight for what we knew was right
 FF     G+G       C majorC
Or was it all some kind of dream?

Verse:
C majorC                A minorAm
Last night I lay in my true love'??s bed
FF             G+G
And she lay there close beside
 C majorC               A minorAm
And we lay thinking â??bout what lay ahead
 FF              G+G
And wondering if the sun would rise
 A minorAm              E minorEm
For it seems that these are darker days
 FF            G+G
Than any others that we'??ve seen
C majorC                A minorAm
Oh, how we wished that we weren'??t wide awake
 FF     G+G       C majorC
And this was all some kind of dream
 C majorC                 A minorAm
Oh, how we wished that we weren'??t wide awake
 FF     G+G       C majorC
And this was all some kind of dream
