My Dream

I wish I could see all nations
Gathering in love and peace,
Reaching out to each other;
Hatred and wars all cease.

Oh what a celebration,
God would smile on the earth,
Happy to know that His people
Found joy in their place of birth.

I wish I could watch strangers
Embracing one another,
Knowing God meant them to be
To each a sister and brother.

Well I may be a dreamer,
But dreams can often come true,
So I'll just imagine I'll see,
God walking with me and you.
