Dreaming Out Loud (Feat. Ivan Neville, Ruthie Foster)

Gov't Mule
Album : Peace...Like A River

World's in trouble - and that's no lie
But somewhere in the future we're all gonna fly
So open up your mind- it's been closed for so long
Let your body relax and get lost in the song
We all got to live together
Put our difference aside
Fighting is not the answer
We're living in the great divide
Somebody said - "it's all about truth"
Try to find it today - well, there ain't no use
And somebody said - it's time to rise above
"You only need a heart full of grace - a soul generated by love"
Forgive me - I'm dreaming out loud again
I said forgive me - I'm dreaming out loud again
"An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind"
Free your heart and let your spirit unwind
"I'm gonna stick with love" - the love we share
"'Cause hate is too big of a burden to bear"
We all got to live together
Put our difference aside
Silence is not the answer
We're living in the great divide
Somebody said - "a lie cannot live
But don't be devoid of the power to forgive"
Time to find out who you are
"Only in the darkness can you see the stars"
Forgive me - I'm dreaming out loud again
I said forgive me - I'm dreaming out loud again
Somebody said - that "in the end
We will remember the silence of our friends"
"If we're gonna leave a better world behind us
We've got to get everybody on the bus"
"We may not have chosen the time but the time has chosen us"
"The future is not beyond our control- it's the work of our own hands"
And "those that look only to the past are certain to get passed by" - bye-bye
Forgive me - I'm dreaming out loud again
I said forgive me - I'm dreaming out loud again
