The bus ride home is typically the time I fall deep into a music trance. This is my time to listen to music rather than hear it. Being that it’s Martin Luther King Jr Day, and tomorrow being Obama’s inauguration, Jose Jame’s velvet lyrics in “The Dreamer” hit pretty damn hard.
I saw the dreamer raise his hand
Into a world of possibilitiesI saw the dreamer raise his hand
Into a sky of light and loveI saw the dreamer raise his hand
Into a day of tomorrowI saw the dreamer raise his hand…
I have a dream of, a dream of tomorrow,
Yesterdays nightmare, and tomorrow’s promise
tomorrow’s promise….
Wow. Give it a listen. But please, listen, don’t hear.
