LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM Last night I had the strangest dream, I ever had before, I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war. I dreamed there was a mighty room, And the room was filled with meeting, And the paper they were signing Said they'd never fight again. And when the paper was all signed, And a million copies made, They all joined hands and circled 'round,. And grateful prayers were made. And the people on the streets below Were dancing 'round and 'round, With swords and guns and uniforms All scattered on the ground.

LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM Jeg drømte mig en drøm i nat, jeg drømte om en jord, med statsmænd som kun talte om, at standse krig og mord. Jeg drømte om alverdens mænd, den sal de mødtes i, de underskrev at kamp og vold, for altid var forbi. Den sidste mand gik frem og skrev, jeg så ham smile glad, jeg så det prentet sort på hvidt, at glemt var krigens had. Og der blev lys i alle byer, og mennesker lo og sang, og våben spredtes, grænser faldt, som skilte os engang. Jeg drømte mig en drøm i nat, jeg drømte om en jord, med statsmænd som kun talte om, at standse krig og mord. Jeg drømte om alverdens mænd, den sal de mødtes i, de underskrev at kamp og vold, for altid var forbi.
