If possible, I would close my eyes
be taken by the hand
by my dreams, follow them
into a new heaven
where I forget my sorrows

If possible, I would travel
in my imagination
build palaces, grow
love and hope overnight
and erase the pain

In the world, oppression
misery and suffering
cloud the faces
What people build
is destroyed

In the world, autocrats
are building ever higher walls
They crush dream after dream
put darkness and greed
in our hearts
