It was late last night when I lay me down to sleep
I closed my eyes and started counting sheep
I dreamed a dream that filled me with dread
I went to see my baby, boys, and this is what she said
No need to worry baby it's only a dream (bis)
I dreamed I was somewhere a long way from home
People everywhere but I was all alone
I dreamed it was hot and when the temperature got higher
I looked around and saw the whole place was on fire
No need to worry baby it's only a dream (bis)
I dreamed I was locked up in a prison place
With high towers and heavy gates
The sky was darkening, there was not a soul around
I tried to fly away from there
But I couldn't get off the ground
No need to worry baby it's only a dream (bis)
I dreamed I was living in a world gone crazy
There were fires in the streets and the skies were hazy
People were ugly and no one knew his brother
Everywhere I looked people turned on each other
No need to worry baby it's only a dream (bis)
I dreamed last night like I did before
That men with papers went from door to door
When I awoke I was filled with fear
My baby said " don't worry, john, it'll never happen here... "
No need to worry baby it's only a dream (bis)
It's only a dream... it's only a dream
