Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream
words and music by Ed McCurdy

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again

And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

That's lovely, freyd. I wonder if it was written in view of the Korean 'conflict', as it was copyrighted in 1950? The words seem so familiar, but I can't seem to put a tune to it.
:whistle::whistle::whistle:
It also reminds me of a few 60's tunes begging for peace during the Viet Nam war. I never get tired of these musical pleas for world peace... it will come one day - but till then we dream and sing about it...

Love to you, brother. :love:

Hi Everyone! :)
I love the assurance we have that Jehovah God, Himself, will do away with war.

Psalms 46
1 God is for us a refuge and strength,
A help that is readily to be found during distresses.

2 That is why we shall not fear, though the earth undergo change
And though the mountains totter into the heart of the vast sea;

3 Though its waters be boisterous, foam over,
Though the mountains rock at its uproar. Se´lah.

4 There is a river the streams of which make the city of God rejoice,
The holiest grand tabernacle of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of [the city]; it will not be made to totter.
God will help it at the appearance of morning.

6 The nations became boisterous, the kingdoms tottered;
He sounded with his voice, the earth proceeded to melt.

7 Jehovah of armies is with us;
The God of Jacob is a secure height for us. Se´lah.

8 Come, YOU people, behold the activities of Jehovah,
How he has set astonishing events on the earth.

9 He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth.
The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces;
The wagons he burns in the fire.

10 “Give in, YOU people, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 Jehovah of armies is with us;
The God of Jacob is a secure height for us. Se´lah.

Better Days Ahead! :)
Much Christian Love :grouphug:

Simon and Garfunkel sang it too. I remember we used to sing it in music class.
