This song was written under the inspiration of the WFWP Sisterhood conferences
Beyond the dream the world keeps turning
and the sun shines bright on our family tree
In the shade of the leaves there's a feast of colors
The table's spread for everyone beyond the dream
We drink the clear cool water of justice
and pass the plate of plenty, share the harvest and the seed
And all of us are seated at the table
with sisters and brothers beyond the dream.
Will you meet me at the bridge and cross on over?
Will you sit beside me at the family feast?
I'm tied to you and you to me
by the roots of our family tree
beyond the dream.
Beyond the dream a million voices
join a million more in harmony
and walls fall down and mountains crumble
and we walk our many roads and meet where we are all free
Beyond the dream the world we hoped for
is clothed in all the colors only truth can see
And like the leaves that shade the table beneath our family tree
we're sisters and brothers
beyond the dream.
Will you meet me at the bridge and cross on over?
Will you sit beside me at the family feast?
I'm tied to you and you to me
by the roots of our family tree
beyond the dream.
Someday soon we're going to make it
Someday soon. Don't you want to be there?
Hand in hand, you and me by the roots of our family tree
Beyond the dream.
