Dream a Dream
carol of dreams
Music by Ron KlusmeierWords by Shirley Erena Murray
Tune Name: EALING

Lyrics as Poetry
Dream a dream, a hopeful dream,
as children do on Christmas Eve,
imaginings, surprising things
to hold and to believe.Dream a time, this Christmas time,
when no one’s hungry or afraid;
that weapons go and harvests grow,
that friends are met and made.Dream a peace, our planet’s peace,
the greening of the earth at play,
the holy ground where life is found,
where God has touched the clay.Dream a gift, the Christmas gift
that changes every thing we see:
the shimmering of angel wing,
the Child, the Mystery.

Comments About Song
Comment by
SHIRLEY ERENA MURRAY
from her book
“Faith Makes the Song” (#9):
“‘Carol of Dreams’ [Shirley’s sub-title for
‘Dream a Dream’] is one of two carols designed for a tune by Professor Peter Godfrey, who asked for a ‘grown-up’s’ version and one for small children.”
