I saw the Berlin wall fall
I saw Mandela walk free
I saw a dream whose time has come
change my history - so keep on dreaming
Dream a dream on, dreamer
In the best of times and in the worst of times
gotta keep looking at the skyline
not at the hole in the road
Your time will come, sister, your time will come
nobody gonna rush history, we have to ease it along
- just ease it along
