Song Lyrics
One of his early songs written and recorded while he was in the Army
stationed in Frankfurt, Germany:
"DREAM WORLD"
There’s a rainbow up in the sky
As the birds chirp a lullaby,
It’s a DREAM WORLD.
If I had only one last wish
I would ask to establish
A DREAM WORLD.
A place where money means less,
A place made for happiness,
Many people go to pray
Asking God for that promised Day
In a DREAM WORLD.
Yes Sweet DREAM WORLD.© Music & Lyrics by PineTree Music, 1964

silken white sewn into roots
of togetherness.
