I [Dm] was dreaming, in [G] my dreaming, _ [D] of an aspect _ [G] bright and fair.
But [Dm] in my sleeping, _ [G] it was broken, but [D] my dream can [G] live in the air.
[D] In the form of [G] shining valleys, [D] where the dew and air [G] recognize.
In the night, I [D] let my senses _ [G] nearly open, but [D] I'll wake again, won't [G] you decry.
_ [F#m] The people _ [G] have the power _ [D] to redeem the [E] work of fools.
[F#m] From the meek, the [G] grace to shower, _ [D] this decree, the [A] people rule.

_ _ [G] _ _ _ Since the late 60s, [G] became suspect, and [Dm] bending low, has [G] the decree out.
_ [D] But in the armies, [G] cease to fencing, [D] because the people, [G] have their ear out.
The [D] land is _ shepherds, [G] in the soldiers, [D] and they laid [G] among the stars,
[D] to teach the visions, [G] lay in arms, [D] to race.
_ [G] In the dust, _ [F#m] in the form of [G] shining valleys, [D] where the dew and air _ [E] recognize.
_ [F#m] In my senses, [G] nearly open, and I'll [D] _ _
not [A] decry. _ _ _ _

Where [D] there were deserts, [G] I saw fountains, [D] like cream, the [G] waters rise.
[D] And we strove, and [G] we're together, when [D] under land, up [G] with the skies.
[D] And the leopard, _ [G] and the lamb, they [D] lay together, _ [G] truly bound.
_ [D] _ _ Hoping, [G] I'm hoping, _ [D] to recall, what [G] I found, when [F#m] I was dreaming.
_ [G] In my dreaming, _ [D] God knows, I've [E] caught you.
_ [F#m] As I lay down, [G] into my sleeping, _ [D] like a light, my [A] dreaming is you.

_ _ [A] _ _ Listen, [D] I believe, [G] everything we sing, [Em] can come to pass, [A] through a union.
