When we were growing up
We wanted to become the special people
In this lonely, broken place
And after all the years have gone
Only a few of us ever reached our goals
Some of us are still trying hardDo you know?
That's all we wanted was to have our dream
Do you know?
That's all we wanted was to have our dreamOur ambitions, are sacred to us
They keep moving forward in our lives
You don't have the right to make it die in us
You don't have the right to destroyDo you know?
That's all we wanted was to have our dream

That's all we wanted was to have our dream
That's all we wanted was to have our dreamTo the governments of the world
To greed, to anger, to war, to hatred
To racism, to religion, to disease, to destruction
To the bombs, to confusion,to reality, to the jealousy
To the governments of the worldDo you know?
That's all we wanted was to have our dream
Do you know?
That's all we wanted was to have our dream
