Скачать или смотреть Josh Ritter - All Some Kind of Dream (Demo) (Lyric Video)

I’ve been playing a new song recently that a lot of folks have been asking about. It’s called “All Some Kind of Dream.” I’ve always avoided writing overtly political songs in the past, but recently I’ve been so enraged I didn’t know what else to do. I recorded this version of it with Josh Kaufman in Brooklyn. Thank you for listening and please vote in November. - Josh

Lyrics:
I saw my brother in a stranger’s face
I saw my sister in a smile
My mother’s laughter in a far off place
My father’s footsteps in each mile
I thought I knew who my neighbor was
We didn’t need to be redeemed
Oh, what could I have been thinking of
Was it all some kind of dream?

I saw my country in the hungry eyes
Of a million refugees
Between the rocks and the rising tide
As they were tossed across the sea
There was a time when we were them
Just as now they all are we
Was there a time when we took them in
Or was it all some kind of dream?

I saw the children in the holding pens
I saw the families ripped apart
And though I try I cannot begin
To know what it did inside their hearts
Was there a time when we held them close
And weren’t so cruel low and mean
And we did good unto the least of those
Or was it all some kind of dream?

I saw justice with a tattered hem
I saw compassion on the run
But I saw dignity in spite of them
I prayed its day would finally come
There was a time when we chose our sides
And we refused to live between
We rose to fight for what we knew was right
Or was it all some kind of dream?

Last night I lay in my true love’s bed
And she lay there close beside
And we lay thinking ‘bout what lay ahead
And wondering if the sun would rise
For it seems that these are darker days
Than any others that I’ve seen
Oh, how we wished that we weren’t wide awake
And this was all some kind of dream?
