Last Night I Dreamed The Strangest Dream
Last night I dreamed the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.
I dreamed I saw a mighty room,
And the room was filled with men,
And the paper they were signing said
They’d never fight again.
And when the paper was all signed,
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads,
And grateful prayers were prayed.
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round,
And guns and swords and uniforms
Lay scattered on the ground.
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before,
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.
– by Ed McCurdy, sung by Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Simon and Garfunkel, and Garth Brooks
