Donny Hathaway
Sack Full of Dreams
[Intro]
I don't know what's going on but this is what I'd like to see go on
Beautiful song written by Gary McFarlane and sung by Grady Tate
"Sack Full of Dreams"
[Verse 1]
I've got a dream for the world
Peace in the rivers and everywhere
Bridges of steel and love, and cities that smile
Gray empty faces walk by
And hands try to hide all the loneliness
Lighting a cigarette to blow time away
Lost in the noise, lonely as a wind
People on sidewalks with no place to go
[Chorus]
Can they learn to understand the world
World of love that I'm dreaming
The world of love
[Verse 2]
And I, I've got a dream for the world
Kites flying hope in the summer sky
Corners where children play
Run in the rain
I said I've got a sack full of dreams
Streets filled with laughter and toy balloons
And people with hearts that care
Who listen for love
Wanting to sing, wanting to care
Wanting to share all my dreams for the world
[Chorus]
Can they learn, can they learn
To understand the world, world of love that I'm dreaming
The world of love
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Mmm, wanting to sing
Wanting to care
Wanting to share all my dreams for the world
Can they learn, can they learn
Can they learn to understand
The world of love that I'm dreaming
The world of love
Peace and happiness
Love and kindness, mhm, mhm-hmm
Thank you, thank you very much
"Ghetto Boy"
