I fell asleep about 12:30 last night 
with the remote held in my hand 
I drifted off and I could see the light 
I was dreaming of the Promised Land 

Oh I had a dream last night 
but it's all a little foggy in my head 
It was something about brotherhood 
and love of all mankind 
I spoke with an angel 
but I can't remember what she said 

You know as people we are powerless 
yet we live our lives in any old way 
Your people, my people, 
we're all God's people, 
and I don't guess it matters anyway 

Oh I had a dream last night 
but it's all a little foggy in my head 
It was something about brotherhood 
and love of all mankind 
I spoke with an angel 
but I can't remember what she said 

I fell asleep about 12:30 last night 
and I woke to the sound of the rounds of a .45 
and as the ambulance pulled away 
I heard a neighbor way, 
"So young and so full of life." 

Oh I had a dream last night 
but it's all a little foggy in my head 
It was something about brotherhood 
and love of all mankind 
I spoke with an angel 
but I can't remember what she said
