Story behind the song
Reflections on post 9-11 America
Lyrics
Dream Darkly I've got a reason to dream darkly the "spooks" on TV and the tough times at home We've all got a reason to sleep lightly... We are not alone We've got a reason to circle the wagons Here come the dragons and the knights are long gone Don't tell the children they've got to shine brightly... They know something's wrong. CH: I know in the morning I will see Someone sticking my neck out for me The winds of war are blowing us to sea. I've got a reason to dream darkly It's open season for the discontent The world's injustice gonna take its tithe now... Where's your money spent? Turn on the TV - it's more vainglory God bless America but that's only half the story God save the child with a gun in his hand... He thinks that I am his reason to dream darkly. BR: And if the only path is hate, I hope God won't help us And if we find someone to blame that will only help us dream...more darkly. CH: I know in the morning I will see Someone sticking my neck out for me The tools of war will never render peace © 2002, Doug Kolmar, BMI. All Rights Reserved
