Old Mister Sandman sent a dream of dreams to me Painted a picture of everything this life could be Told me a story about fate and destiny I would like to believe Spring is in the air Summers in the skies Freedom is waiting there And I feel hope is on the rise I saw a valley full of yellow gra** and gold All of my friends celebrating things of old We walked along solving mysteries untold Could our hearts be so full? Spring is in the air Summers in the skies Freedom is waiting there And I feel hope is on the rise Two wild horses galloped cross the greatest plain Bluebirds were singing in the smokey mountain rain Travelers were rambling on a never-ending train Bound and back once again Spring is in the air Summers in the skies Freedom is waiting there And I feel hope is on the rise People held hands, breathing in the friendly air Countries held hearts, bringing peace to everywhere Joy came along like the answer to a prayer I would like to go there Spring is in the air Summers in the skies Freedom is waiting there And I feel hope is on the rise Freedom is waiting there And I feel hope is on the rise
