I Used to Dream

Of a day when There would be peace And harmony Throughout the world. I used to dream That someday There'd be no violence No war No hatred. I used to hope I used to imagine We could put aside our differences Even just for a day I used to wait For that day to come. I used to expect These dreams These hopes These wishes Would soon come true But those were the days Before it all changed The days before I realized The things you want the most Are the things you can't expect.
