The World That He Sees

There was a cold winter night
Where the dark went on forever
And the world seemed like a
Dream gone astray
And somehow there on this night
As the world huddled together
There a child slept at the end of
This day
And he dreamed of another world
In another time
And another place
Where no man
Has to wear a sign
Saying where he’s from
Saying what’s his race
And he wants us to believe
This world that he sees
What is the dream of this night
Why does it echo forever
Here in the cold at the end of
This year
And with all our different lives
Why do we dream it together
When at the first sign of snow it
Appears
When he dreamed of another world
In another time
And another place
Where no man
Has to wear a sign
Saying where he’s from
Saying what’s his race
And he wants us to believe
This world that he sees
