  • Last night I had a dream
    That we were fighting
    Cause we had different ways in wrong rhyme
    And as the words ran out
    And you were shouting
    I saw there would be no peace in here tonight

    Then I dreamt we both lost in the end
    Well, you proved your point but
    Now you've lost a friend
    The light we used to live has reached the end
    And we both want to smile back
    Though I pretend oh I pretend

    Last night I had a dream
    That we were fighting
    Cause we had different ways in wrong rhyme
    And as the words ran out
    And you were shouting
    I saw there would be no peace in here tonight

    Then I dreamt we both lost in the end
    Well, you proved your point but
    Now you've lost a friend
    The light we used to live has reached the end
    And we both want to smile back
    Though I pretend oh I pretend

    Ah, oh I had a dream i had a dream
    But it all just seemed so real

    But it all seems to be longing for this glory
    To get fame and fortune of our own
    But will we, in the end, be satisfied
    When we're living in our glory, all alone?

    And this night I had a
    Dream that we were running
    Running far away from our mistakes
    We were blaming others for the wrongs we made
    And then we were down because we
    Were not the one we paid

    Ah, oh I had a dream i had a dream
    Oh, I had this dream
    But it all just seemed so real

    One night I had a dream a man hit his woman
    Cause she was standing in the
    Way and he was drunk
    And every Monday morning she was brave
    When the man dove far away inside his truck

    But tonight I had a dream
    That we were just watching
    All devastating things this world can bear
    We could feel the lightness way over here
    But when it didn't us concern
    We didn't care

    No we wouldn't lift a finger
    For the lost ones
    We wouldn't give money to the poor
    Our happiness has come in shape of gold
    And we forget what's truly worth living for

    Ah, I had a dream i had a dream
    Oh, I had this dream
    But it all just seemed so real
    It seemed so real just seemed so real
    It seemed so real

    I have these dreams and they seem so real
    And they seem so much more
    To me than just dreams Writer/s: AURORA AKSNES
