(Come on) In a dream, broken hearts mended right before my eyes Healing all the pieces of all the shattered lives As I wake, I find myself in a cold reality I don't wanna stand here cryin' 'Cause this ain't the way it's supposed to be (How long) 'til we make this world better? (Be strong) Make the dream last forever In a dream like this one, I turned to say goodbye To all the empty reason of a man who lived a lie As I wake, I see the world that others ought to see (I don't wanna stand here cryin') I don't wanna stand here cryin' 'Cause this ain't the way it's supposed to be (How long) 'til we make this world better? (Hold on) Make a dream last forever (How long) 'til we make this world better? (Come on) Make the dream last forever (How long) 'til we make this world better? (Be strong) Make the dream last forever In a dream like this one where cannons never sound And children don't know hunger and Every step's on hallowed ground As I wake, I find the world a raging, stormy sea I lift my voice, cry out loud This ain't the way It's supposed to be (How long) 'til we make this world better? (Hold on) Make a dream last forever (How long) 'til we make this world better? (Be strong) Make a dream last forever (How long) 'til we make this world better? (Come on) Make the dream last forever
