Swords and Plowshares/Dreamers
Dreamers.png){kind=small}
I CHOOSE to be a dreamer—
A dreamer whose dreams come true.
A dreamer whose dreams come true.
You may choose to fight if you like—
To skirmish and strike—
To worry and toil and build.
You may count the towns you have founded, the men you have killed.
You may fill the world with bustle.
And shout and scream.
You may jostle and hustle.
I dream.
To skirmish and strike—
To worry and toil and build.
You may count the towns you have founded, the men you have killed.
You may fill the world with bustle.
And shout and scream.
You may jostle and hustle.
I dream.
I can see what is hidden to you—
The army of man
Passing along in review—
The fighters and workers and all, from the rear to the van.
There they go with their banners and streamers,
The best and the worst;
But lo! the poor dreamers
March first!

So I choose to be a dreamer—
A dreamer whose dreams come true.
