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

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

[Verse]
C                           Am
  I saw the children in the holding pens
F                            G
  I saw the families ripped apart
C                        Am
  And though I try, I cannot begin
F                                  G
  To know what it did inside their hearts
Am                         Em
  There was a time when we held them close
F                                G
  And weren't so cruel, low, and mean
C                          Am
  And we did good unto the least of those
F           G                C
  Or was it all some kind of dream?

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

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