"City Of Dreams" lyrics
"City Of Dreams"
Here where you are standing
The dinosaurs did a dance
The Indians told a story
Now it has come to pass
The Indians had a legend
The Spaniards lived for gold
White man came and killed them
But they haven't really gone
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on this highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
From Germany and Europe
And Southern U.S.A.
They made this little town here
That we live in to this day
The children of the white man
Saw Indians on TV
And heard about the legend
How their city was a dream
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on this highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
The Civil War is over
And World War One and Two
If we can live together
The dream it might come true
Underneath the concrete
The dream is still alive
A hundred million lifetimes
A world that never dies
We live in the city of dreams
We drive on this highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
