The Soul of a Nation © Bradley Murphey 2008 Teach us to dream Teach us to desire Teach us to live in peace Or set our souls on fire We have nothing to look forward to We don't know how far we've come And if we never learn the dreams of those who came before We'll never touch the soul of the nation Chorus: Are you listening Can you hear their cries anymore Are you listening can you hear me Dreams are the soul of the nation Misconception is not knowledge But it's what they're taught today The youth of our great nation has surely lost its way Generations gone before Are the ones who are to blame We forgot what we were fighting for and took it all away (Chorus) Teach them to dream Teach them to desire Teach them to live in peace Or set their souls on fire We need their dreams to live We need their dreams to love But if we take their dreams away How will we survive? (Chorus)
