.... A. Sailor

In a dream I sailed off to nowhere. 
I was drifting along with the wind. 
I just let the breeze take me out there, 
To see places I had never been. 

I had in mind no destination, 
For this voyage out into my soul. 
So, I felt no real inclination, 
To take on a guiding role. 

That's how I discovered the doorway, 
That led to the far side of when. 
My eyes saw the dawn of a new day, 
Where no man of today had yet been. 

I saw there a future for our race, 
Where both peace and hope were at hand. 
With a look of wonder on my face, 
I beheld the salvation of man. 

Can it be that this dream will be our fate? 
Are these heights that mankind can ascend? 
Or will man be doomed by his own hate, 
Just to perish in war at the end? 

I choose to believe we can get there, 
To this future of hope I dream of. 
To live in a new world of peace where, 
Man's hate is transcended by love.
