Lyrics

If I'm dreaming don't wake me up if it's a lie don't tell me the truth
Chorus

'Cause what the truth will do, it's gonna hurt my heart
Being in the darkness for so long now
Mr. president, did I hear you well last night on tv
You said:
The group areas act is going apartheid is going (x2)

Ina me eye me sight the future so bright
I mean I my eyes
I see the future so bright

When the blackie manna coming together
With the whitey manna (x2)
Whitey manna coming together with the blackman

Chorus:
If I'm dreaming

Gazing at my crystal ball I see the future so bright
The fighting's gonna stop now
We'll forgive and forget I know mr. president
You can't please everyone
But everybody liked it
When you said

Group areas act is going
Apartheid is going (x2)

Chorus:
If I'm dreaming (till fade)
