There's no where to hide,
no where I can go
I reach out my hand
touching death itself
just another holy
day in Sarejevo
Hiding from the planes
and from the bombing
Fire in the sky burning
down my life
There is no more
love no more longing
I dream of Peace
I dream of flowers
on the hill
I dream I see my
mother smiling
When I close my eyes
I dream of Peace
Once my mother sang
to me and held me
Then the fire came
falling from the sky
There is no one left
who can protect me
Feeding on the dreams
of all the children
War's an evil bird
flying in the dark
Every holy promise has
been broken
I dream of Peace
I dream of flowers
on the hill
I dream I see my
mother smiling
When I close my eyes
I dream of Peace
You are tall and
strong and I am just a child.
Can't we live in a peace
stop the flowing blood
Make a blessed world
where I can be a child.
Do you dream of Peace?
Do you dream of flowers
on the hill?
Do you dream you
see your mother smiling?
When you close your
eyes do you dream of Peace?
You have struggled
here in Sarajevo
Courage you have
shown to the watching world
We have prayed and
wept for Sarajevo
Children dance again
in Sarajevo
Now the sun can shine
Now the birds can
sing
Let the peace continue,
Sarajevo
Do you dream of Peace?
Do you dream of flowers
on the hill?
Do you dream you
see your mother smiling?
When you close your
eyes do you dream of Peace?
